This is my recipe for english crumpets. I love them toasted with butter & Cheese Wiz or jam Ingredients:
1 pkg active dry yeast or 2 tsp fast rising yeast |
1/4 cup water |
1/2 cup + 2 tblspn milk |
1 tsp sugar |
1/2 tsp salt |
1 tblspn melted butter |
1 egg - at room temp - beaten |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. Grease inside of 6 crumpets rings.
2. In a bowl or jug, with a spout, mix together water, milk & sugar.
3. Heat in microwave to scald milk & then cool to lukewarm
4. Sprinkle the yeast over the lukewarm liquid & let sit for about 5 mins until yeast has softened. Stir
5. Add to yeast mixture the beaten egg, salt & melted butter. Mix well
6. Add flour & beat until no lumps remain
7. Cover container with plastic wrap & leave in a warm place & let rise until batter has doubled, 35 - 40 mins
8. Beat down lightly & let batter rest for about 5 mins
9. Heat electric griddle to about 365 degrees & brush with melted shortening
10. Place rings on griddle & heat well
11. Fill the rings at least 1/2 full with batter, dividing the batter between the 6 rings
12. Cook until bubbles form on the tops & start to pop & the bottoms are golden
13. The crumpets will pull away from the sides of the rings slighty
14. Using tongs, lift the rings off the crumpets & flip them over
15. Cook for about 2 mins until lighly golden
16. NOTE:- I like to use a container with a spout to ease pouring
17. You can cook the crumpets on an electric griddle or in a heavy skillet on top of the stove. Just make sure your skillet is completely flat or the batter will run out under the edge of the ring.
18. If you don't have crumpet rings, save tuna cans, shrimp cans etc & cut off the tops & bottoms. They make perfect rings
