Madge’s Wholemeal Crumpets

These crumpets are Madge’s answer to those seeking a fuller-bodied, nourishing bite — without losing the comfort that defines her kitchen. Made from a blend of whole wheat flour and plain flour, and lovingly soaked overnight, the dough develops a delicate depth that results in an incredibly fluffy texture. The crust is gently golden, while the inside remains cloud-soft, with those familiar bubbling air pockets that make crumpets so good at soaking in butter and jam. The added richness of milk powder and a slight sweetness from sugar round out the profile, balancing nutty wholemeal flavor with subtle tenderness. Perfectly suited for slow mornings or restorative afternoon teas, these crumpets speak of care, simplicity, and a quiet kind of joy — the kind that can only come from something made by hand, and made to share. For a breakfast or tea-time spread, serve with Bordier salted butter and Maison Perrotte strawberry jam, then browse The Art of Tea Time for drinks and accompaniments.

You may avail of the crumpets:

• Fresh (on next day delivery) - Available for Metro Manila clients only. Not ideal for long-haul deliveries as fresh crumpets are sensitive.
• Frozen ( Express delivery) - Available for all locations and most ideal for Nationwide clients. Frozen crumpets will last the long-haul travel.

If you are a nationwide client, kindly choose Frozen.

Let Madge’s Crumpets be your blank canvas for breakfast or teatime splendor.

• With French Butters: Let these crumpets soak up Échiré or Bordier for a breakfast worth lingering over.

Wholemeal flour offers more than just fiber — it brings an earthy flavor and a sense of old-world nourishment that’s deeply satisfying. But to draw out its best qualities, patience is needed. That’s why Madge soaks her crumpet dough overnight, allowing the flours to hydrate, soften, and rise into their fluffiest selves by morning. This simple act of slowness is typical of Madge’s kitchen: no rushing, no shortcuts — just honest baking. Each Wholemeal Crumpet is prepared in small batches and through her partnership with The Bow Tie Duck, these homey creations now reach homes far beyond the weekend market. It’s breakfast that tastes like a day off — lovingly made, heartily nourishing.

For your Fresh Crumpets:

Madge’s Crumpets are baked fresh in the morning of your scheduled delivery, then stored chilled to lock in their tender texture and gentle rise. They are delivered at room temperature — just right for receiving and storing.

• Refrigerate: Keep them in the original bag or transfer to an airtight container. Best enjoyed within 3-4 days from date of arrival.
• Freeze: For longer storage, place in the freezer as soon as possible. While they are suitable for freezing for up to 4 months, we recommend freezing them within 2-3 days of arrival to retain their best quality.

To serve, simply pop in the toaster or warm in a pan until the edges turn lightly golden and crisp. They’ll come back to life — soft, springy, and ready to soak up butter.

For your Frozen Crumpets:

Madge's Crumpets are frozen on the same day they are baked for optimal quality. You may use the following methods to reheat:

• Toaster Method: Place frozen crumpets directly into the toaster on a medium setting. Toast until heated through and the edges turn lightly crisp — usually one to two rounds depending on your toaster.
• Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Arrange frozen crumpets on a baking tray or rack and heat for 8–10 minutes until warmed through. For a softer bite, wrap them in foil before heating.
• Microwave Method: Wrap 1–2 frozen crumpets in a damp paper towel and microwave on medium for 30–45 seconds. For a crispier finish, follow up with a quick toast or sear in a hot pan.

*For Nationwide deliveries, only frozen crumpets are available as they last the long transit. *
