Ingredients

4 classic British crumpets
1 cup mixed winter berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or cranberries)
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

Pour some vegetable oil onto three paper napkins and place them in the center of the Arteflame grill.
Stack firewood over the napkins and light them.
Allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes until the flat cooktop is hot and ready.

Step 2: Prepare and grill the berries

Place the mixed berries onto the flat top cooktop, near the center where it’s hotter.
Add butter, honey (or maple syrup), cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Gently toss the berries as they grill for about 3-5 minutes, letting them soften and caramelize.

Step 3: Toast the crumpets

Place crumpets face down onto the flat griddle cooktop.
Let them toast for 2-3 minutes or until the undersides are golden and crisp.
Flip them and toast the other side for another 2 minutes.

Step 4: Assemble and serve

Place the toasted crumpets onto a serving plate.
Spoon the warm caramelized berries over the crumpets.
Drizzle extra honey or maple syrup on top if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy warm!

Tips

Use high-quality butter for the best flavor when grilling crumpets.
Grill the berries in a single layer to allow even caramelization.
Move crumpets to the cooler part of the cooktop if they toast too quickly.

Variations

Nutty Delight: Sprinkle toasted walnuts or almonds over the berries for extra crunch.
Chocolate Indulgence: Add dark chocolate shavings over the warm crumpets for a decadent treat.
Creamy Dream: Serve with a dollop of mascarpone cheese or clotted cream.
Citrus Twist: Add a dash of orange zest to the berries for a punch of citrus.
Spiced Up: Sprinkle nutmeg and cardamom for a warming spice blend.
