                                                1 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1 package dry yeast  |  
                                                1/4 cup warm water (105° to 115°)  |  
                                                1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted  |  
                                                butter or margarine (optional)  |  
                                                strawberry jam (optional)  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Cool milk to lukewarm (105° to 115°) in a medium mixing bowl; add egg, beating well. Gradually stir in flour and salt, beating well. 2. Dissolve yeast in warm water, stirring well; let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly. Stir in 1/4 cup butter. Add yeast mixture to flour mixture, beating well. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. 3. Grease 4-inch muffin rings, and place on a hot, lightly greased griddle. Pour batter into muffin rings, filling two-thirds full. Reduce heat to low, and cook crumpets 8 to 10 minutes on each side. Remove from rings; set aside to cool. Repeat procedure with remaining batter. Split crumpets and lightly toast. Serve with butter and strawberry jam, if desired.                              |
