We don’t mess around with tea time in Scotland! It is not only a sacred moment, but also the ultimate indulgence! This is evidenced by the many pastries offered with your cup of tea! Crumpets are one of them: these pancakes full of holes are a real delight and always create unanimity with the gourmets!

The crumpets

A must at tea time in Scotland!

Crumpets are one of the great tea classics in Scotland. They are a kind of pancake, thick and soft at the same time, with thousands of holes at the top. The whole thing is usually toasted, buttered, then spread with jam or marmalade.

Soaked in tea, it is a pure delight. It must be said that these rather fluffy pancakes are as simple as they are tasty! A real comfort after a beautiful day spent exploring the Scottish territory! And it’s even better when eaten in the warmth of a rainstorm!

You can find them in most bakeries and tea rooms in Scotland. Very cheap to make, they will cost you almost nothing and will offer you a nice moment of Scottish conviviality!
