Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium butter, for greasing
- 1 tablespoon Oil or additional butter, for cooking
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder, and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Add the active dry yeast to this mixture and allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 3
Once the yeast mixture is ready, add it to the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or a whisk to mix well until you have a smooth batter.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size and is bubbly.
Step 5
Lightly grease your crumpet rings or use cleaned, empty tuna cans with both ends removed. Grease a large non-stick skillet or griddle with butter and heat over medium-low heat.
Step 6
Place the greased crumpet rings on the skillet and pour about 2-3 tablespoons of batter into each ring, filling them halfway.
Step 7
Cook the crumpets slowly for about 8-10 minutes, until the tops are set and full of holes, and the bottoms are golden brown.
Step 8
Carefully remove the rings (you may need a butter knife to help release the edges) and flip the crumpets to cook the other side briefly, about 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden.
Step 9
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the rings again as needed.
Step 10
Serve the crumpets warm with your choice of low-sodium toppings, such as unsalted butter, no-salt peanut butter, or naturally low sodium fruit preserves.
