Serves: 6
Ingredients:
150 Grammes plain white flour
200 Milliliters Water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon dried yeast
Preparation notes:
1. Add Flour, Water and Salt to a mixing bowl
2. Mix vigorously with a whisk until your arm aches (at least 5 minutes) to create your crumpet batter
3. Mix a few ml of water into your dried yeast
4. Add sugar, baking powder and yeast mixture to a large bowl and mix for another 30 seconds until you have a clear batter (and your arm aches even more!)
5. Cover the mixing bowl and put into a warm place for 15 mins
6. Place a greased metal biscuit cutter (any shape cutter you have to hand will also do the trick) into the middle of a non-stick frying pan on medium/high heat.
7. Stir your batter to remove any large air bubbles
8. Use a ladle to drop approx. 60g batter into the cutter inside the pan
9. Wait for approx. 4 mins – carefully lift the ring off the crumpet
10. Remove the baked Crumpet from the pan (if the top looks a bit gooey flip it over in the pan for a few seconds)
11. After cooling, toast and enjoy with butter
