Cook with us #3 -Dessert - Crumpets with Chocolate Whispers

Here we are at Week #3 and although not too early but at least I'm still in time this week.

Going through my photographs, I came across a slow mode pic of myself flipping a pancake and it made me really crave pancakes. I started making the batter and then changed my mind and decided to make crumpets instead. As we are staying at someone's house at the moment and hardly a moment to go out shopping, I had to make do with the ingredients I had.

So here goes - ingredients are really simple:

My late grandmother left a book of recipes from which my mother and I still have some family favourites

This is the recipe in her own handwriting

I used a little less milk so that the consistency would be a bit thicker than if I had made the pancakes.

I usually make one first to check that my pan is hot enough

Ah - perfect!!

So now I can make four at a time. Hate it when a lovely pan like this is scratched because metal utensils were used. One should only use wooden or plastic on these non-stick surfaces

Here comes the guilty pleasures part

Heat a little butter in a pan and throw in a packet of Maltezers or Whoppers - malted milk chocolates

And voila - a delicious dessert. Normally I use Nutella or honey and cinnamon - but whichever way you eat crumpets they are delicious and more-ish !!! They are also great with jam and cream - yummy! now I feel like making them again.

Thank you @chefsteve, @offoodandart and @pandamama for a superb contest.
