German Chocolate Crumpets With Sweet Cream Cheese Food

CHOCOLATE CRUMPETS

Steps:

• Heat 300ml of the milk in a pan until it just starts to bubble around the edges, then leave it to cool until it is tepid.
• Measure out the flour and then put 3 tbsp back into the bag. Add the cocoa, yeast and sugar and then stir the milk in, a little at a time, until you have made a smooth batter. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1hr-1hr 30 mins or until doubled in size and very bubbly. Stir in a little more milk if the batter is very thick, if it is too thick the bubbles won't rise to the surface as well.
• When risen, add the remaining 50ml milk to the batter to let it down a little, then heat the grill to high. Lightly oil the insides of 4 x 9cm metal crumpet rings or metal cooks' rings. Heat a large non-stick frying pan or griddle pan over a low-medium heat, add 1 tbsp oil and put the rings in the pan. Spoon the batter into the rings until they are half full. Let the crumpets cook slowly for about 10 mins or until the mixture has set and the bubbles on top have all popped. Lift the rings away carefully. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
• If you now want to grill your crumpets, transfer your pan (if it has a heatproof handle) to the grill and cook until the tops are golden brown. If your pan doesn't have a heatproof handle, transfer the crumpets to a baking sheet and grill them on that instead. Can be made up to a day ahead or frozen until ready to grill and serve.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CRUMPETS WITH SWEET CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• Mix all the crumpet ingredients by hand with a wooden spoon. When thoroughly mixed, let rest for 20 minutes in refrigerator.
• Then in a frying pan and greased crumpet rings (you can also use tuna fish cans with top and bottom removed)on medium, spoon in batter. Only fill halfway up, but spread thoroughly around the bottom. I got my crumpet/English muffin rings on Amazon for a steal.
• Do not flip until you have sufficient bubbles atop. Then remove rings and flip. After a quick finish on the top, remove from frying pan, and do over until all batter is used.
• I keep mine warm in a Pyrex casserole dish in the oven at the 175F-200F.
• To make spread, allow all ingredients to warm to room temperature. Mix very well. You may serve at room temperature or refrigerate.
• You may also serve these with jam and Devonshire Cream (clotted cream).

GERMAN SWEET CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Microwave chocolate and 2 tablespoons of the milk in large microwave-safe bowl on HIGH 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring halfway through heating time. Stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
• Beat in cream cheese, sugar, and remaining milk with wire whisk until blended. Refrigerate 10 minutes. Gently fold in 3 1/2 cups of the whipped topping until no streaks remain. Spoon into crust.
• Freeze pie 4 hours. Before cutting pie, let stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Serve with remaining whipped topping. Store pie in freezer.

DOUBLE GERMAN'S SWEET CHOCOLATE PIE

• Remove pie from freezer about 30 min. before serving. Let stand at room temperature or place in refrigerator until slightly softened. Melt remaining chocolate as directed on package; drizzle over pie.

EGGY CHEESE CRUMPETS

Steps:

• Heat the grill. Beat the eggs and milk together in a wide dish. Submerge the crumpets in the egg mixture, turning them once, then set aside for a few minutes.
• Arrange the tomatoes cut-side up on a baking tray and grill for a few minutes, then cover the tray with foil to keep the tomatoes warm.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the crumpets for a few minutes on each side until the egg has set - you may have to do this in batches. Transfer them to a baking tray as you go. Once all the crumpets are cooked, top with the cheese and grill for 1-2 mins until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Serve with the tomatoes and avocado slices.
