Crumpet Recipe

6 servings · 5 min prep · 20 min cook

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 cup white flour (plain / all purpose)
• 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp warm water (tap water)
• 1/2 tsp salt (cooking/kosher salt)
• 1/2 tsp white sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp yeast (instant/rapid rise OR dry active yeast)
• 1 tbsp warm water
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted, or vegetable oil)

Steps

1. Place 1 cup flour, ¾ cup + 1 tbsp water and ½ tsp salt in a bowl and whisk for 2 minutes (electric beater 1 minute on speed 5).
2. Dissolve 1 tsp yeast into 1 tbsp warm water in a small bowl.
3. Add 1 tsp yeast mixture, ½ tsp sugar and 1 tsp baking powder into bowl, then whisk for 30 seconds (or 15 sec speed 5).
4. Cover with cling wrap or plate, then place in a very ¾ cup + 1 tbsp warm place for 15 to 30 minutes until the surface gets nice and foamy. It will only increase in volume by approximately 10 to 15%.

   15-30 min

5. Grease 2 or 3 rings with 2 tbsp butter (approximately 9 cm / 3.5 inch wide, though any ring or metal shaper will do).
6. Brush non stick skillet lightly with melted 2 tbsp butter then place rings in the skillet.
7. Turn stove on medium high (medium for strong stoves) and bring to heat.
8. Pour ¼ cup batter into the rings, about 1 cm / 0.4 inch deep (will rise approximately 60%).
9. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes - bubbles should start appearing on the surface (but not popping yet).

   1.5 min

10. Turn heat down to medium, cook for 1 minute - some bubbles should pop around the edges.

    1 min

11. Turn heat down to medium low, cook for a further 2 1/2 to 4 minutes, until the surface is set and it is clear there will be no more bubbles popping. At this stage you can help the final bubbles pop with a skewer.

    2.5-4 min

12. Remove rings (you might need to run knife around to loosen).
13. Flip and cook the other side for 20 to 30 seconds for a blush of colour.

    20-30 sec

14. Transfer to wire rack (golden side down) and fully cool.
15. Crumpets can be eaten once cool, but are even better the next day.
16. Toast in a toaster until the base is crispy.
17. Slather generously with 2 tbsp butter, then spread of choice (honey is perfection) and devour immediately.
