Etymology

The word 'crumpet' is believed to have originated from the early 17th century, derived from the Welsh word 'crempog,' which means pancake. The use of yeast in the batter dates back to the development of bread-making techniques in Britain, which began to flourish in the Middle Ages. Over time, crumpets evolved into a distinctive type of bread product with a unique texture, characterized by its holes created by bubbles during cooking. They became a popular breakfast item and were typically associated with tea time in British culture. As the popularity of crumpets grew, they were adopted into various culinary practices and can now be found in numerous variations across different regions, though they remain fundamentally linked to British cuisine.
