Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 25 grams Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 150 milliliters Whole milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 20 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until fully combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually pour in the wet ingredients, whisking gently. Continue mixing until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Avoid overmixing as this can affect the texture.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
Using a spoon or ladle, pour small rounds of batter (about 2-3 tablespoons each) onto the hot pan. Leave enough space between each crumpet as the batter will spread slightly.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to set. Flip the crumpets with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed to prevent sticking.
Serve the Scots crumpets warm with butter, jam, syrup, or toppings of your choice.
