Air Fryer Crumpets
Ready in about 11 minutes.
Updated 7 September 2026
Shop-bought crumpets toasted to a crisp exterior with a warm, spongy middle full of butter-soaking holes. The air fryer toasts them more evenly than a toaster and reheats a batch at once.
Ingredients
- 6 crumpets
- Butter to serve
- Jam or honey to serve
- Grated cheese (optional)
- Marmite (optional)
Method
- 1Preheat the air fryer to 180°C/360°F.
- 2Arrange the crumpets holey-side up in a single layer.
- 3Cook for 3 minutes until the tops are set.
- 4Flip and cook for 2-4 minutes until golden and crisp.
- 5For extra crunch, add a final minute at 190°C/375°F.
- 6Butter generously while hot and serve.
Tips for the best results
- Toast holey-side up first so the butter pools later.
- Do not overlap them or they toast unevenly.
