The bubbles are created by the bicarbonate of soda bubbling when it gets warm.
The way they are produced also explains why they are only brown on one side.

Now you've spoilt the mystery



So have you made crumpets? I want to learn to do proper cooking and baking. Don't think I'll have time for a course before I go though!

It's ok Mandy, that's still how it really happens - the thing about the bicarb is just a rumour spread by the pixies. Otherwise everyone would want their own stiletto wearing crumpet pixie and then they'd start getting exploited and then - well you know the rest....

Ooh fantastic - see I'd probably be able to learn to bake the cakes but don't think they'd ever teach me to craft amazing things out of fiddly bits of marzipan - think I'd need to have been born with at least some artistic talent for that

Try putting the question on a thread of your own in either Australia or in the barbie, as only the mad nutters come in the cafe bar and not the sensible people who could possibly answer your question
