use for stale crumpets

JillD_2

We have a bag of crumpets that hubby got out of the freezer and thennever ate.
Can I do anything with them ? They look fine, just a bit dry and not too fresh. Seems like a shame to bin them.

I would bin them, I cant think of anything sorry

Throw them at DH for being wasteful .....
Or chop them up and give them to the birds.

try toasting them and then sampling them, we use crumpets that are getting past their best quite often and they are usually fine with butter on, dont know of any other use for them unless you feed them to the ducks!;)

I would say either toast them or try them in the microwave for a few seconds. This usually freshens bread so it may work for crumpets. I hate to throw anything away

Could you make a crumpet & butter pudding ? (same as bread & butter but with crumpets)

You could put marmalade on the crumpets to add a twang before U make it.

I like the idea of throwing them at OH :rotfl:
There are six, even with my rubbish aim one is bound to hit him

We make mini pizzas using crumpets, just toast lightly then pop some tomato sauce on and top with some grated cheese, herbs and maybe a slice of tomato. Should work fine with slightly stale crumpets.

thanks catznine, and actually you've reminded me to see if the kids will eat them, they are Asda Smart Price, Hubby decided he doesnt like cheap crumpets (sigh) but mayeb the kids willike them esp if they have choc spread on

maybe if you sprinkle a few drops of water onto them and then warm them gently in the microwave they will freshen up again. I do this with slightly stale breads and it works just fine.

Although I like the thought of using them as missiles as well though..

Crumpets are nice grilled, topped with some fruit chutney and grated cheese. The chutney and cheese are lovely melted together and you shouldn't notice that the crumpets are slightly past their best !
