Soft, golden crumpets with a spongey center and signature bubbly top, perfect for sweet or savory toppings.

Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour: 250g (2 cups) – Provides structure and body to the crumpets.
  • Warm Water: 200ml – Activates the yeast and hydrates the flour.
  • Warm Milk: 200ml – Adds richness and softness to the crumb.
  • Instant Yeast: 1 tsp – Gives the batter its rise and bubbly texture.
  • Sugar: 1 tsp – Feeds the yeast and adds a hint of sweetness.
  • Salt: 1/2 tsp – Balances the flavor and enhances taste.
  • Baking Powder: 1 tsp – Boosts the bubbles and helps the crumpets rise when cooking.
  • Vegetable Oil or Butter: for greasing – Prevents sticking and aids in crisp edges.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Lightly grease your skillet and crumpet rings, then set the skillet over medium-low heat to pre-warm.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add warm water and milk, whisking until smooth. Cover and let the batter rest for 30–40 minutes until bubbly.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Place greased crumpet rings onto the preheated skillet. Let them get warm before adding batter.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into each ring, filling it halfway. The batter should begin to bubble within a minute or two.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Cook for 8–10 minutes on medium-low until the tops are set and full of holes. Remove the rings, flip, and cook for an additional minute to lightly brown the tops.
  6. Finishing Touches: Optionally, place the cooked crumpets under a broiler for 1–2 minutes for a golden finish.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Toast and top with butter, jam, or anything your heart desires. Serve warm for best texture.

Notes

  • Let the batter rest long enough to create bubbles.
  • Use well-greased rings to maintain shape and easy release.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and toast before serving.
