Homemade Crumpets Recipe By Tasty Food

CLASSIC CRUMPETS

Steps:

• Gently warm the milk. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm milk and 100ml of tepid water. Leave in a warm place for 15 minutes, or until frothy.
• Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the yeast mixture.
• Whisk from the centre outwards until the consistency of double cream - this will take a few minutes. Add a splash more water, if needed.
• Cover with a damp tea towel and set aside for 45 minutes or until little bubbles form on the surface.
• For the butter, pour the cream into a freestanding mixer. Whisk on high for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cream splits into solids and liquid.
• Drain through a sieve, discard the liquid, then rinse the solids thoroughly with cold water. Place in muslin and squeeze out any excess liquid. Mix ½ a teaspoon of sea salt through and wrap in greaseproof paper.
• Grease four 10cm egg rings with vegetable oil. Wipe a little oil around a large frying pan or iron skillet and place over a medium-high heat.
• Arrange the rings in the frying pan and, once hot, spoon 4 tablespoons of the batter into each ring. Cook for 5 minutes, or until little bubbles appear on the surface.
• Once the bubbles have burst, leaving little holes, use tongs to carefully lift off the rings and flip over the crumpets, then cook for 1 minute on the other side. Re-grease and reheat the rings and pan before cooking the next batch.
• Serve the crumpets warm, with a slather of butter. If making them in advance, just toast lightly on both sides when you come to serve them.

CRUMPET RECIPE

Steps:

• Place flour, water and salt in a bowl and whisk for 2 minutes (electric beater 1 minute on speed 5).
• Yeast Mixture - Dissolve Yeast into 1 tbsp warm water in a small bowl.
• Add Yeast Mixture, sugar and baking powder into bowl, then whisk for 30 seconds (or 15 sec speed 5).
• Cover with cling wrap or plate, then place in a very warm place for 15 to 30 minutes until the surface gets nice and foamy. It will only increase in volume by ~10 - 15%.
• Grease 2 or 3 rings with butter (approx 9 cm / 3.5" wide, though any ring or metal shaper will do, Note 3) (TIP: Non stick rings - brush with melted butter. Everything else - smear with butter)
• Brush non stick skillet lightly with melted butter then place rings in the skillet.
• Turn stove on medium high (medium for strong stoves) and bring to heat (Note 4 for "sizzle test").
• Pour 1/4 cup batter into the rings (65ml), about 1cm / 2/5" deep (will rise ~60%).
• Cook for 1 1/2 minutes - bubbles should start appearing on the surface (but not popping yet).
• Turn heat down to medium, cook for 1 minute - some bubbles should pop around the edges.
• Turn heat down to medium low, cook for a further 2 1/2 to 4 minutes, until the surface is "set" and it's clear there will be no more bubbles popping! (At this stage you can help the final bubbles pop with a skewer!)
• Remove rings (you might need to run knife around to loosen).
• Then flip and cook the other side for 20 to 30 seconds for a blush of colour.
• Transfer to write rack (golden side down) and fully cool.
• Can be eaten once cool, but it's even better the next day (Note 5).
• Toast in a toaster until the base is crispy.
• Slather generously with butter, then spread of choice (honey is perfection) and devour immediately!
