Hello my little crumpets on a stick!
Not only am I greeting you, I am describing the delicious bites of scrummy yummy we made recently. Such a perfect bite-sized treat. Specifically delicious when the crumpets are sandwiched together with cream, garnished with strawberry slivers, a mint sprig and a a sprinkle of icing sugar. With a little wooden spoon in the middle, it’s a neat treat too!
And with Harry and Meghan’s Royal Wedding coming up very soon, it’s the perfect time to seek out those wonderfully English recipes that will make for a fabulous High Tea. And with these, you can preserve your decorum and observe the rules of good etiquette by not making a great big, non-aristocratic mess!
So, I know you are salivating and ready, so I’ll move along, and get the recipe up!
