Crumpets

Thick little pancakes with a honeycombed crumb, cooked on one side only on a griddle, which creates small holes on the surface. They're toasted and buttered, especially with tea.

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt.
  2. Add the warm milk and water and whisk until smooth, fairly runny batter.
  3. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour somewhere warm, until the surface is covered in bubbles.
  4. Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in a little water and stir it into the batter.
  5. Grease crumpet rings or ramekins and heat a frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Place the rings in the pan, pour in the batter halfway up and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, without turning.
  7. When the surface is dry and full of holes, remove the rings and let the crumpets cool.
  8. Toast the crumpets on the cooked side and spread with salted butter or jam.

Variations and tips

Ring-free version. Pour the batter directly into a non-stick frying pan in small amounts, without rings, shaping them into discs.
