Here’s an easy and delicious recipe for homemade crumpets! Perfect for a cozy breakfast or snack, these crumpets can be made with simple ingredients and enjoyed fresh off the griddle.
Homemade Crumpets Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) plain flour
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp dried yeast
- 1 ¼ cups (300ml) warm water
- 1 ¼ cups (300ml) warm milk
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Prepare the Yeast Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, and yeast. Stir in the sugar and set aside for 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy. - Make the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Slowly pour the yeast mixture into the flour while whisking to form a smooth batter. The consistency should be thick, like pancake batter. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it sit in a warm place for 45-60 minutes until the batter has risen and is bubbly. - Prepare the Crumpet Rings:
If you don’t have crumpet rings, you can use metal cookie cutters or empty, clean tuna cans with the tops and bottoms removed. Grease the inside of the rings with butter or oil. - Cook the Crumpets:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and grease lightly with butter or oil. Place the greased crumpet rings onto the skillet. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of batter into each ring, filling them about halfway. - Cook Until Bubbles Form:
Cook the crumpets for 6-8 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to set. Carefully remove the rings, flip the crumpets, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown on both sides. - Serve:
Serve the crumpets warm with butter, honey, jam, or your favorite toppings!
If you have a pie maker, that would make this super easy as you could pour them straight into there to cook!
