Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2.25 teaspoons Dried active yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 300 milliliters Warm milk
- 100 milliliters Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and salt. Whisk to blend evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the warm milk, warm water, and sugar. Sprinkle the dried active yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture. Stir the ingredients together until a thick, smooth batter forms. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, the batter should be bubbly and slightly risen. Stir it gently to knock out some of the excess air.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil. Place 3-4 crumpet rings (approximately 3 inches in diameter) onto the skillet. Grease the inside of the rings as well to prevent sticking.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of batter into each ring, smoothing the top slightly. The batter should be about 1 cm deep in each ring.
Cook the crumpets for 5-7 minutes on one side, until bubbles form on the surface and the tops are slightly dry. Carefully remove the rings and flip the crumpets, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until golden on the second side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the rings and skillet between batches as needed.
Serve warm, topped with butter, jam, or your favorite spread. These crumpets can also be toasted once cooled.
