Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Sift together the flour & salt.
Step #2 Mix the yeast with a few tbsps of the warm water.
Step #3 Whisk three-quarters of the remaining warm water into the flour & then add the yeasty liquid.
Step #4 Cover up & leave in a warm place until the mixture has risen.
Step #5 Once risen, check the consistency.
Step #6 If the batter is very thick, loosen with the remaining water.
Step #7 The batter should now be left to stand for 8-10 mins.
Step #8 Warm a non-stick frying pan on a low heat.
Step #9 Butter some crumpet rings or small tartlet rings.
Step #10 Place the rings into the frying pan & pour in some of the batter until half-full (1/4 to 1/2 inches deep).
Step #11 Cook on a low heat until small holes appear & the top has started to dry.
Step #12 The bottom of the crumpet will now be golden & it can be turned over & cooked for another min.
Step #13 The crumpets are now ready for lots of melting butter! Note: The crumpets can be cooked without turning - simply cook this until the tops are completely dry.
Step #14 The finely grated zest of 1 lemon can also be added to the batter to give a lemon bite.
