I LOVE french toast and when I first made french toast crumpets I fell in love so I thought I needed to remake them in a different form! I opted for a blueberry lemon compote with creme fraiche and... it was SO GOOD! You are going to love these blueberry french toast crumpets.
When you add the crumpets to the french toast mixture and fry it they go crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. They taste sweet and cinnamony and they are so moreish!
