Default Hot-cross buns or crumpets?
Which do you prefer?

Raisins ruin hot-cross buns for me anyway. So it would have to be crumpets.

They make salted caramel buns for you strange people who don't like raisins.

I don't eat either regularly but Crumpets are much nicer, I'm not a fan of stuff with raisins in them (the only exception is a fruit & Nut bar or Yorkies with raisins)

I suppose the muffins in McMuffins are basically crumpets as well and I love those

Hot cross buns, but only on Goog Friday. Eating them any other time is like eating mince pies in the summer.

Crumpets get cold too quickly and go leathery

Hot Cross buns all the way

Crumpets although I can't remember the last time I had one. Hot cross buns are gross, way too bready and I don't like the flavour either

Nice to see you, by the way.

Double toasted crumpets so they’re crisp and loads of butter. Sometimes a bit of jam.

If I’m doing a fry up I’ll have a couple of crumpets on the side too
