Crumpets vs Gyeranppang (Korean Egg Bread)

Both dishes use milk, butter and sugar, but very differently. Crumpets rely on a yeasted batter of flour, milk and water, proved until bubbly and cooked in rings on a griddle, giving a spongy, holey texture; butter appears only at the table, melting into the holes, and the sugar is a mere teaspoon. Gyeranppang is an oven-baked batter raised with baking powder and enriched with melted butter, milk, egg and more sugar for a fluffy, gently sweet bread. Its signature is a whole egg baked on top with a pinch of salt and sugar, the yolk possibly still jammy, making it savory-sweet.
