SERVES
| Time |
|---|---|
| 15 crumpets | 6 minutes |
Ingredients Crumpets :
- 200 g strong plain flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 teaspoon dried yeast
- 175 ml warm milk
- 200 ml warm water
- oil for frying
- butter for serving
Instructions :
2- Make a well in the centre, pour in the milk and water and mix to a thick batter. Beat for about 5 minutes with a wooden spoon, then cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about an hour. Beat for another two minutes, and turn into a jug.
3- Heat a big non-stick frying pan; brush it with a little oil. Use 4 crumpet rings (or 7.5 cm diameter pastry cutters): oil the insides, place them on the fryingpan surface while it is over the heat and let them, too, become hot (about 2 minutes). Pour batter into each ring to about 1 cm thickness. Let them cook for about 6 minutes, till the surface is set. Then remove the metal rings, turn the crumpets over in the pan and cook for just 1 more minute. Put them on a wire rack while continuing with the rest of the batter, oiling the pan and the rings each time.
4- Then, just before serving, toast the crumpets. Serve hot with the butter.
