            I'm afraid that I can't remember which recipe I used but here are a couple:

            This one looks quite nice and has a bit of background info about crumpets too

            And this one is a bit different because it uses soda water rather than normal eau du robinet!

            I haven't tried either of these so I can't vouch for them but guess what I'll be making later ...

                              Just for you Bill:

                              Pikelets

                              A regional variation of the crumpet is the pikelet, whose name derives from the Welsh bara piglydd or "pitchy [i.e. dark or sticky] bread", later shortened simply to piglydd;[4][5] the early 17th century lexicographer, Randle Cotgrave, spoke of "our Welsh barrapycleds".[6] The word spread initially to the West Midlands, where it became anglicised as "pikelet",[7] and subsequently to Cheshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and other areas of the north.
                              The main distinguishing feature of the Welsh or West Midlands pikelet is that it was traditionally cooked without a ring, with an end result rather flatter or thinner than a crumpet.[4][8]
                              The term "pikelet" is also used in Australia and New Zealand for a similarly flat cake, of the type that in Scotland and North America would be called a pancake and in England a Scotch pancake, girdle or griddle cake, or drop scone.[9]

                                I thought a pikelet was a jack pike? (A lickle one)
