Honey, Walnut and Ricotta Crumpet (the Walrus) @ The Crumpet Shop

Hot tea and warm crumpets might seem more London than Seattle, but hey, we’re both fending off the same chilly fog. Here in Seattle, though, we’re not content with a little butter or marmalade. Instead, freshly-baked crumpets are heaped with toppings, transforming the disks of dough into knife-and-fork food. On the Walrus, cool ricotta holds up a float of chopped walnuts, brought together with a drizzle of honey.
