Description
My local grocery store quit selling crumpets, so I decided to try my hand at making my own! These are a nice alternative to English muffins. To serve, toast the crumpets whole and spread with butter, honey, jelly, or your favorite topping.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 2 ¾ cups warm water, divided
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons dry milk powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- cooking spray
- Crumpet rings
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1 cup of warm water. Let stand until foamy
- about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile
- mix flour
- milk powder
- and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle. Add the yeast mixture and remaining 1 3/4 cups warm water. Mix well with a wooden spoon until dough is the consistency of cake or waffle batter. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm spot until bubbly
- about 1 hour.
- Combine 2 tablespoons water and baking soda in a small bowl. Mix into the batter. Let stand for 15 minutes.
- Heat a cast iron griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the griddle and inside of the crumpet rings with cooking spray. Arrange the rings on the griddle.
- Fill crumpet rings 2/3 of the way with batter. Cook until tops are covered in bubbles and starting to look dry
- 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully lift up crumpet rings
- flip the crumpets
- and cook until second side is lightly browned
- 1 to 2 minutes. Turn heat down if crumpet is overly dark or still raw in the middle.
