Crumpets are a type of bread that originated in England and Wales. They are made from an unsweetened batter of flour, yeast, and water or milk, and cooked on a griddle in metal rings, possessing a texture with many holes on the surface which allows butter, jam, or other toppings to soak in. Crumpets are usually eaten for breakfast or teatime and are best served toasted. As with other dishes from Great Britain, crumpets tend to be a cultural staple of Australians families, though not very popular in native cuisine.
