Crumpets

Crumpets are small, fluffy, and round breads typical of British cuisine, known for their airy texture and characteristic surface full of small holes. These holes allow butter or any other topping to be deeply absorbed, offering a unique and highly appreciated flavor experience for breakfasts and snacks.

Originating from the United Kingdom, crumpets are made from wheat flour, yeast, water or milk, and are cooked in special pans that give them their circular shape and particular texture, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Regarding their properties, crumpets are a moderate source of carbohydrates and provide quick energy. Depending on the recipe, they may contain some fiber and protein, especially if whole wheat flours are used or if they are enriched with additional ingredients.

In the context of Hispanic American cuisine, crumpets do not have a direct synonym, as they are not a traditional bread in the region. However, they could be compared to other types of fluffy breads or cakes consumed for breakfast, though with differences in texture and preparation. On some occasions, they may be called "English muffins" or "English rolls" to facilitate understanding.
