Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. To serve, spread the crumpets with the honey butter and conserve, adding a drizzle of extra honey, if you like.

Tip: The whipped honey butter can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge, then brought to room temperature.
