Ricotta cheese is a staple in my kitchen, so making moist delicious ricotta crumpets to serve for dinner with a fresh vegetable salad is an easy decision. Jams and fruit sauces might be a more traditional topping for crumpets, but looking for a sweet and spicy twist, I topped mine with some jalapeño and apricot cheese spread. The possibilities for toppings are as endless as the imagination of the cook and they would be enjoyable for breakfast or brunch as well as dinner.

Crumpets look so YUMMM..i feel like grabbing them from the screen..
Making your own crumpets sounds like fun. I like the sound of the ricotta in them.
These look delicious Lisa! I'll be making them.
Ricotta makes everything so nice and tender, while lending a perfect tang. These crumpets must make the yummiest breakfast! Thanks for sharing the recipe :)
yummy crumpets.......nice clicks!!!
Hey Lisa,
Just posted my creations from your kitchen :-)
They look just perfect!
I love crumpets, and I've never made them at home!! Thank you so much for the beautiful recipe that reminds me I must try fixing crumpets right away - using your gorgeous method!
the crumpets look good Lisa but I must say that i am more intrigued by the apricot-jalapeno spread! i have never heard of that combination before :)
I just have to try these ricotta crumpets, a twist on the staple in our home. They sound delicious:D
Hi Lisa - these sound just gorgeous - thanks for the recipe. I have just tried a sweetish version of them, in mini muffin trays, and hope to post about them soon. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Cheese in my crumpets? I'm tempted by this idea. Have bookmarked this one, Lisa.
Topped with lemon and manuka these were a great Sunday breakfast.
These tasted great but were nothing like crumpets... more like pancakes with a slight crumpet consistency.
We ate these for breakfast with maple syrup - they were delicious.
How was the texture? I found that when I made mine they weren't as spongy as I like them. How did you find the ricotta? What did it add to the texture/flavor? Did the crumpets have as many holes as you'd like?
I'm looking for the ultimate crumpet recipe as I adore them!
Thanks!
Rhi
Hi Rhid;
They didn't have as many holes as I might have liked but they were lighter than a pancake. The ricotta added a nice cheesy flavour but was not overwhelming. I am going to keep experimenting as this was the first crumpet recipe I have tried. At any rate, these WERE very good!
I've just started following your blog and love it. I made some ricotta the other day, and decided to try your recipe. I added some fresh corn off the cob and served it with honey and more ricotta - yummy. Tonite I'm experimenting with chickpea flour (besan) instead of regular flour. Fingers crossed!
