- Didn't the garlic burn?
- If you just sweat it with the butter, it won't burn. Do not brown it!
Garlic butter crumpets
Although crumpets are often served sweet (with honey or jam), they are excellent savoury too. Garlic butter, melting into the millions of tiny craters in the dough, permeates every single bite. This version makes a great side for soups or a standalone savoury breakfast.
