Classic British Crumpets

Traditional dish · British

Light and airy crumpets with a distinctive porous texture, perfect for toasting and slathering with butter and jam.

Ingredients

Servings4
  • All-purpose flour250g
  • Active dry yeast7g
  • Warm water250ml
  • Milk250ml
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • Butterfor greasing and serving

Steps

  1. 1

    Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually whisk in the foamy yeast mixture and the milk until you have a smooth, thin batter, similar to heavy cream.

  3. 3

    First rise: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  4. 4

    Prepare the crumpet rings: Lightly grease the inside of crumpet rings (or muffin tin cups) and the cooking surface (griddle or frying pan).

  5. 5

    Cook the crumpets: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Place the greased rings on the griddle. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into each ring. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

  6. 6

    Flip and finish: Carefully remove the rings. Flip the crumpets and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the other side.

  7. 7

    Serve: Serve warm, toasted, with butter and your favorite toppings.
