You’ll Need
Crumpets
Butter
Golden syrup
Optional but Encouraged
Custard
Vanilla ice cream
Pinch of cinnamon
Method
1 - Preheat your air fryer to 180°C for 3–5 minutes.
2 - Cut the crumpets into chunky bite-size pieces. Don’t go too small — they need a soft centre.
3 - Melt the butter gently and stir in the golden syrup until combined.
4 - Toss the crumpet pieces in the syrupy butter until fully coated.
5 - Lightly grease the air fryer basket or line it with baking paper.
6 - Tip the coated crumpet bites into the basket in a single layer.
7 - Air fry at 180°C for 6–8 minutes, shaking once halfway, until golden, sticky, and lightly crisped.
8 - Remove carefully — they’ll be soft, hot, and dangerously sweet. Serve immediately.
Lad Tip: A pinch of cinnamon takes these into proper pudding territory. These do not wait well. Eat hot or don’t bother.
