Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2.25 teaspoons Dried active yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 300 milliliters Warm milk
- 100 milliliters Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and salt. Whisk to blend evenly.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the warm milk, warm water, and sugar. Sprinkle the dried active yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Step 3
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture. Stir the ingredients together until a thick, smooth batter forms. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Step 4
After 30 minutes, the batter should be bubbly and slightly risen. Stir it gently to knock out some of the excess air.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil. Place 3-4 crumpet rings (approximately 3 inches in diameter) onto the skillet. Grease the inside of the rings as well to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of batter into each ring, smoothing the top slightly. The batter should be about 1 cm deep in each ring.
Step 7
Cook the crumpets for 5-7 minutes on one side, until bubbles form on the surface and the tops are slightly dry. Carefully remove the rings and flip the crumpets, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until golden on the second side.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the rings and skillet between batches as needed.
Step 9
Serve warm, topped with butter, jam, or your favorite spread. These crumpets can also be toasted once cooled.
