I spent a few months with my Aunt and Uncle the Summer after my Junior year of high school. My Uncle moved to Australia after college (a while ago), met a lovely woman from Tasmania, they have two kids and now three grandchildren. It may have been my Summer but in Australia it was Winter, school was in session and it was chilly compared to my typical California June to August. I spent a few weeks in a local school and when I would come home in the afternoon my Aunt would put on a pot of tea, toast crumpets top them with a little butter & honey and we would eat them together while watching an Australian Soap Opera. On weekends we would explore Adelaide but I enjoyed those simple afternoons warming ourselves with tea & crumpets. I can’t believe it’s taken me so long make them myself. The shape wasn’t uniform but none of my taste testers even took a moment to notice before the crumpets disappeared into their bellies.
