When was the last time that you had a home-made crumpet? Not a question asked much when commercially made crumpets are so readily available to the crumpet eating household. In fact until a couple of weeks ago (when I decided to have a go at making some myself), I could safely answer my own question with "never". However now that I have both tasted home-made and made them for the cafe, I can say without a doubt that I will not be buying commercial crumpets again. There is absolutely no comparison.
A home-made crumpet is so very different and so much nicer. Even though it takes more time and effort to make, I can say that it was worth the effort. And fortunately for Blue Bird customers, you do not need to go to so much effort in your own kitchen, let me do the work and make the crumpets for you. One customer's
comment was that it was just like her grandma used to make and that it
took her back to childhood. And that is why we make them here at the
cafe ...because the Blue Bird is all about recapturing childhood and
enjoying the memories of grandma's house. So next time you are in Lockhart on a Sunday for brunch or afternoon tea, try one of our homemade crumpets with butter, jam or golden syrup...whatever takes your fancy.
