Homemade crumpets with poached egg and asparagus

Crumpets are made from a simple batter of flour, water, and yeast, which is cooked on a griddle or in a shallow pan. Unlike other types of bread or pancakes, crumpets are characterized by their unique texture. They are soft and porous on the inside, with a slightly crispy exterior. This porous texture is perfect for soaking up butter, jam, honey, or any other toppings you fancy.
