Likewise, can you eat crumpets without toasting?
Crumpets may be cooked until ready to eat warm from the pan, but are also left slightly undercooked and then toasted. They are usually eaten with a spread of butter, or with other sweet or savoury toppings.
Subsequently, question is, should crumpets be toasted?
If you're making these from scratch and eating them whilst they're still hot from the pan, then there is no need to toast them. If you are eating them from cold, or frozen, then you will need to toast them on both sides so they warm through and crisp up on the outside again.
Always serve crumpets warm, especially if you're using a spread like butter that you want to melt. Place them in a toaster or toaster oven rather than a microwave to give them a little crunch and browned edges. Only let the crumpets toast until they're a light golden brown.
