My neighbors' kids are doing a project on England and we need to find some crumpets --- FAST!! I know I have seen them in a store, but can't remember where. Does anyone have a brand name I could go off of - or a national store that they have found them in? Thanks everybody!

In the SF Bay area, there are several speciality food stores, including some that import foods from England. I've also seen them at Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Sur le Table, Cost Plus, etc.
They're really easy to make -- just a sort of biscuitty flatbread baked/toasted in a ring on a griddle.
Basic Crumpet Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 package active dry yeast
1 or 1 cake compressed yeast
1/4 cup water*
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter or margarine
1 cup milk, scalded
1 egg
3 cup all purpose flour
Recipe Preparation
*Use very warm water (105-115 degrees for dry yeast, lukewarm (80-90
degree) for compressed yeast.
Sprinkle dry yeast or crumble cake yeast into water. Let stand for a
few minutes; then stir until dissolved. Add sugar, salt, and butter
to warm milk, stirring to dissolve; cool to lukewarm. Add egg, yeast
mixture and flour and beat thoroughly. Let batter rise in warm place
for 30 minutes; with spoon beat for 3 minutes.
Repeat rising and beating and then rising again.
Pour batter into greased 4 inch muffin rings on medium hot greased
griddle (325 degrees on electric griddle) filling rings one third
full.
Bake until well risen and browned on one side. Turn over, rings and
all, and brown on other side (should take about 18 to 20 minutes)
Remove, cool, split, and toast.
Although crumpets are similar to English muffin, crumpets are softer
in texture with surface holes appearing during the pan cooking; these
holes enable the crumpet to absorb great quantities of butter.

The only brand name I can think of currently is Wolferman's but they're primarily mail order. BUT.. if you happen to live anywhere near Shawnee Mission, KS, that's home for them, and I believe you might find grocers in the Kansas region who may stock them. Crumpets are not usually frozen. They're about the size of an English muffin, but with lots of holes from the bubbles in the batter. I love them because the holes let the jam or butter melt all the way through.
My store sometimes has their store-brand, on the shelves with the English muffins.
Good luck!
