Preparation

  1. In a small bowl, mix the yeast with the warm milk.
  2. Leave to stand for 5 to 10 minutes, until the yeast becomes frothy.
  3. In a large bowl, sift the flour and add the sugar, salt and baking soda. Mix well.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast-milk mixture.
  5. Gradually mix in the lukewarm water until you obtain a smooth, thick batter. The consistency should be thicker than pancake batter.
  6. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and leave the dough to rest in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, until doubled in volume.
  7. Preheat a non-stick frying pan or crumpet pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with a little oil or butter. Use crumpet cutters or kitchen rings to pour the batter into the pan.
  8. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of batter into each cookie cutter.
  9. Cook the crumpets for about 5 to 8 minutes, until holes form on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.
  10. Gently turn them over and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes.
  11. Remove the crumpets from the pan and repeat the process until all the batter has been used.
  12. Serve the crumpets warm with butter, honey, jam or any other topping of your choice.
