A crumpet /ˈkrʌmpɪt/ [en.wikipedia.org] is a small griddle [en.wikipedia.org] cake made from an unsweetened batter [en.wikipedia.org] of water or milk, flour [en.wikipedia.org] and yeast [en.wikipedia.org], eaten in the United Kingdom [en.wikipedia.org], the Republic of Ireland [en.wikipedia.org], and some areas of the Commonwealth [en.wikipedia.org].
