Crumpets with grilled banana

When I first saw crumpets in a supermarket Seijo Ishii, I got curious about them. I had never heard about nor seen them before. They seemed to be small pancakes full of holes. According to the label in Japanese on the package, they were made from wheat flour, vinegar, sugar, yeast, salt/swelling agent, which meant that they are vegan. Before I bought them, I checked on the Internet what crumpets are. From some websites in Japanese, I learned that they are traditional English pancakes (some people call them bread) eaten for breakfast or snack with butter or honey.

When I ate one as it was, I didn’t think it taste very good. So, it was necessary to toast them and add something after all. Since I had a banana in the refrigerator, I grilled it for about eight minutes (with a slit on the skin) until the skin became black.

Then, I toasted crumpets while cutting the banana in slices. After putting the slices on crumpets, I sprinkled cinnamon on them.

The hot grilled banana was softer and sweeter than raw one. Even before toasted, the crumpets looked like sponge, but they really felt like sponge as I ate them. I liked this interesting texture very much.

The combination with grilled banana was good. I think grilled apple with cinnamon and brown sugar syrup may also go well with crumpets. Maybe I can get some idea on the Internet.
