Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 150 milliliters Warm milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
Step 3
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture, along with the warm milk, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Step 4
Using a whisk, combine the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, batter-like consistency. The mixture should be quite thick, but still able to pour slowly.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size and is bubbly.
Step 6
After the batter has risen, gently stir it with a spoon to deflate it slightly.
Step 7
Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan using a cooking oil spray or a small amount of vegetable oil.
Step 8
Place greased crumpet rings (approximately 3 to 4 inches in diameter) onto the hot surface and pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into each ring. The batter should fill about 1/2 to 3/4 of the ring's height.
Step 9
Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until the surface of the crumpets is bubbled and mostly set. Carefully remove the crumpet rings, using tongs if necessary.
Step 10
Flip the crumpets and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until they are golden brown on the other side.
Step 11
Remove the crumpets from the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.
Step 12
Serve the crumpets warm, topped with your choice of butter, jam, or honey substitute.
