Steemkitchen Recipe Contest 8 - Week 5 - Very Berry Crumpet Stack
I must admit I'm not a breakfast person, and I know this is so wrong from a health point of view as this should be the most important meal of the day. Our bodies need fuel, not so? Good fuel though, no fast foods and definitely not oily fried breakfasts which we all are so fond of!
My breakfast offerings for this week's Steemkitchen Contest may not be the healthiest; but it offers a savoury and a sweet plate, and at least has been made with basic pantry staples and fresh berries, so no need to run out to the stores!
Before we can have this sweet breakfast dessert, we will start off with an Eggy Breakfast Stack.
Prep Time - 40 minutes
Cooking time - 30 minutes
Serving - 4 servings - 24 crumpets

Light and fluffy Crumpets

Hmm...looks delish and a great breakfast idea. Someone was telling me the other day about a crumpet batter recipe with yeast and which makes both a big quantity and lasts forever. The downside is that you have to plan it about 2 days in advance. This is giving me a great idea for breakfasts for my accommodation spots that have no cooking facilities. Thanks, @lizelle!
I saw a post when I first joined where someone made crumpets with yeast, sure that would be great as I love anything with yeast! Thanks for stopping by :)

Looks absolutely scrumptious!
I must get Justine to make us some flapjacks
It really was yummy, thanks @therneau :)
As you do so that the pancakes are so nice and can become full? I do mine but they do not bulge like those or those on TV
This looks delicious I love the pancakes I must try them with something sweet I like to put cheese
This recipe uses more baking powder, that's why they rise more :) Thanks for your support @andrina :)
You're right my friend is wrong not breakfast I used to breakfast but that made me very bad in my body and now it's a rule that I have to leave home but before breakfast so I have more energy for the day
There is nothing better than something salty and sweet at the same time and I like buttermilk here you eat a lot
I am trying to have breakfast these days although a little later as I work from home after retiring, thanks for your support!

Have not had crumpets in years and that looks Oh so good @lizelle I believe we call them crumpets some places in the world call them drop scones or something along those lines.
No matter what name they have, they are tasty fancy like you made, or on their own with syrup.
Visiting from #teamsouthafrica
Yep some even call them pancakes but we know what a pancake looks like in SA not so ;) Some call them flapjacks as well, perfect for a cold winter's evening! Thanks for the visit :)
