- Preheat the grill to high. Arrange the crumpet fingers on the rack of the grill pan and toast for 2–3 minutes on each side or until browned and crisp.
- Meanwhile, mash the bananas with a fork, keeping them a little textured. Add the ricotta, crushed cardamom, cinnamon and orange rind, and mix well together.
- Spread the banana mixture over the toasted crumpets, levelling the surface, then drizzle each with 1 teaspoon honey.
- Return to the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned and the honey is bubbling. Leave the crumpets to cool slightly, then sprinkle over a little extra cinnamon and serve at once.
