Question: what is the difference between english muffins and crumpets?
Answer: Crumpet batter is just that: a loose batter. English muffins are made from a more firm dough. ... Crumpets are cooked only on one side, so the bottom is flat and toasted while the top is speckled with holes (delicious, butter-absorbing holes…). English muffins are more bread-like and are toasted on both sides.
