Crumpets

A major personality trait of mine is bringing up the fact that I used to live in Berlin. It's a humble brag most of the time but here it sort of provides some kind of context to this recipe and as to why I am declaring myself as the queen of crumpets. One of the things (aside from Marmite) that I missed the most about being in the UK was crumpets. I searched high and I searched low but, alas, the Germans just didn't come through with the goods. Taking matters into my own hands, I started making these massive frying pan-sized crumpets and it bridged the long (1 week) gap between each parcel of treats my mum was sending me. I've made individual ones here and I promise you – it's so so easy to do! The satisfaction that comes with making your own hot, squidgy crumps is second to none.
Notes: you will need crumpet rings, or you can use cookie cutters!

STEP1 Crumpets Guide

Boil your kettle. Add the plain flour, strong white flour, salt, sugar and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the middle.

Crumpets Step 2

Add the milk and the just boiled water to a jug – you don’t want it really hot, it needs to be around body temperature (37°C), so let it cool down until just warm otherwise it will kill the yeast. Once cooled a little, whisk in the yeast.

STEP3 Crumpets

Pour the liquid into the well, mixing slowly with whisk.

STEP4 Crumpets

Cover the bowl with cling film or a clean damp cloth, then set aside in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. This will depend on how warm it actually is, so keep an eye on it! If it's particularly warm, it might take less time – you want the surface to be all bubbly.

STEP5 Crumpets

Grease your crumpet rings and a large pan with oil. Then set the pan over a low heat and bring up to temperature – this will take around 5 mins.

STEP6 Crumpets

Add the crumpet rings to the pan, and pour in about 3 tbsp of batter to each.

STEP7 Crumpets

Cook for around 12 mins or until the crumpets have set completely on top, and have formed lots of holes.

STEP8 Crumpets

Then remove the rings, flip the crumpets and cook for 2 mins until cooked through and lightly golden on top. Remove from the pan and cool completely. Repeat until you’ve used all your batter.

STEP9 Crumpets

When it comes to serving, pop in the toaster and cook until warm – this might take less time than your shop bought crumpets! Spread with lots of butter and your toppings of choice – I love honey and sea salt or loads and loads of Marmite!
