crumpets
Holey British bread
Crumpets are small, round, spongy breads with a distinctive porous surface, cooked on a griddle.
The holes form during cooking and soak up butter when toasted.
A British teatime staple, crumpets are thicker and softer than English muffins: We had crumpets with jam for breakfast.
In British slang, crumpet can refer to sexually attractive people, especially women.
