Method
- To make the honey butter, whip the honey with an electric hand whisk on the slowest setting until it starts to lighten in colour, then increase the speed and whip for 5 mins until light and fluffy. Whip the butter in a separate bowl for 3-4 mins until pale and fluffy. Fold the honey into the butter until well combined; set aside.
- Preheat the oven to gas 2, 150°C, fan 130°C. Whisk the cardamom with the milk, eggs and icing sugar until combined. Soak 4 crumpets in the mixture for 3 mins, turning halfway. Melt half the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat, then fry the crumpets for 2-3 mins each side until golden. Transfer the cooked crumpets to the oven to keep warm while you soak and cook the remaining crumpets. Repeat to cook the remaining crumpets.
- To serve, spread the crumpets with the honey butter and conserve, adding a drizzle of extra honey, if you like.
