I adore crumpets! I bought a pair of silicone egg rings to use for
making crumpets and they work as well as I imagined they would.
However, I also have a 3.5 round cookie cutter (metal) that should
work just as well... and it cost $1.50 at the most.

I think canning jar rings would work, but 3 inches is too small. 3.5
inches is optimal, IMHO.
