27 Feb 2024, 7:18pm Hungry in the Huon Valley – The Huon Me Crumpet Origin Story People in Tassie are going crazy for these locally made sourdough crumpets, and they are soooo good. With variations such as coconut, chocolate and saffron, it's little wonder this popup is such a great success story. In this episode, we get to chat to Cam and Ally Skeels, the creators of the 'Huon Me Crumpets'  about their origin story. This is the first of a sub-series of episodes of Kitchen Radio, recorded in the summer in Tasmania of 2023-24. If you're inspired to make your own crumpets, I reckon this recipe is worth a try: https://www.essentialingredient.com.au/…/recipe…
