How to Use Crumpet Rings Like a Pro (Not Just for Crumpets!)

Whether you’re a weekend cook or a kitchen aficionado, crumpet rings are one of those unsung kitchen heroes that deserve a place in every home. Made from premium non-stick carbon steel, they’re not just for crumpets anymore and once you start using them, you’ll wonder how you cooked without them.

What Are Crumpet Rings?

Crumpet rings are simple circular moulds you place on a hot pan or tray to shape batter or egg mixtures into perfectly round, evenly cooked results. The non-stick design means easy release and minimal fuss.

1. Classic Crumpets (of Course!)

Pour your batter into greased rings on a warm griddle or skillet and watch them rise. The result? Soft, fluffy interiors with that classic textured top crumpet lovers adore.

  • Tip: Warm the pan first and use a light brush of oil so batter doesn’t leak. 

2. Egg Rings for Perfect Breakfasts

Whether you like fried eggs for toast or a classic breakfast stack, crumpet rings give you neat, round eggs every time.

  • Crack one egg into the centre of each ring.

  • Cook gently so the whites set without overcooking the yolk.

  • Use on toast, English muffins, or as a base for avocado smash.

3. Mini Pancakes & Drop Scones

Turn a simple pancake batter into perfectly shaped bites:

  • Pour batter into rings just enough to fill halfway.

  • Flip when bubbles form on top.

  • Serve with fruit, maple syrup or a dollop of yoghurt.

Crumpet rings make stackable, Instagram-worthy pancakes with minimal effort!

4. Savoury Treats & More

Get creative — improvise with:

  • Mini frittatas

  • Savoury cheese bites

  • Mini quiches

  • Rosti nests

Ancient moulds? Far from it. These rings help you explore fun recipes with consistent results.
