Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 milliliters Warm milk
- 100 milliliters Warm water
- 7 grams Dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the frothy yeast mixture, warm milk, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir well until you have a smooth batter. The batter should be thick, but pourable.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the batter rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Grease a large skillet or flat griddle using the butter and heat it over medium-low heat. Also, grease 3-4 metal crumpet rings (or cleaned round cookie cutters).
Place the crumpet rings onto the skillet and spoon the batter into each ring, filling them about halfway. Let the batter cook gently for 7-8 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the top starts to look dry.
Carefully remove the crumpet rings and flip each crumpet to cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked crumpets to a wire rack and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the rings as needed.
Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
