Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Whey protein powder
- 350 milliliters Warm water
- 100 milliliters Milk
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and milk. Sprinkle the yeast and sugar over the top and stir gently. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, and salt.
Pour the frothy yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until you achieve a smooth batter. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter sit in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the batter has risen, gently fold in the baking powder.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over low to medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
Place greased crumpet rings (metal rings) onto the pan, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of batter into each ring, filling about halfway.
Cook the crumpets for about 5-7 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the tops are partially set. The undersides should be golden brown.
Carefully remove the rings using tongs and flip the crumpets to cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the rings and pan as needed.
Once cooked, serve the crumpets warm with your favorite toppings like butter, jam, or honey for a delightful high-protein treat.
