Crumpets with Honey butter: Say "Good morning!" with English style bread

Good morning!, Well, I really want to be the one who shout these words and serve everyone with a delicious breakfast ^^, anyway, I'm not the early bird, haha. 

But even I'm not the one who wake up early, I still can make this bread for breakfast, why? Because it's easy and very quickly to make.
All you have to do is whisk and whisk, ^^, and when the batter is fully combine, cover it and let it rest for 20-30 minutes (depend on the room temperature). While the batter is resting, you can make this honey butter or you can take a nap, haha, it's up to you.
For the honey butter, I try to follow the recipe in the book by boiling it but I fail >*<, maybe the problem is my honey is quite thick, it's become harden after boiling it. So, I chose to mix it into the butter, it's the only thing that I adapt from the original recipe.


I never think that I will love my home made crumpets this much ^^, actually I had tried the crumpet in UK, but I don't 
fancy it, the one from the shop (and supermarket), is dry and tasteless (sorry to use these words). It's a lot better to make it by yourself, the taste is so much better and it's very easy to make it! Because the ingredients list is very short, milk, flour, yeast, sugar and salt, I think most of us have it already in the kitchen, right?


I just can't say more ^^, so I hope you can try it at home, this little British style bread is simple and delicious, serve it warm with butter or jam, and don't forget a cup of hot tea!
