	Description:		You have to make crumpets! They are amazing, and the earliest recipe was from 1769 by Elizabeth Raffald in Manchester, UK, though the product has been around before that. You can buy crumpets in the UK, not the US, but they are completely wonderful homemade. They make the shop bought ones taste like old car tyres.
