Crumpets

It is fun to make your own crumpets from a few simple ingredients. These crumpets are slightly softer than the commercial variety. They can be frozen.

Ingredients

4 cups plain flour
2 tbsp baking powder
1½ tsp salt
1½ tsp sugar
3 cups warm water 
1 tsp instant yeast

 Method

Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, salt into large bowl. Dissolve yeast in a little water, and when all the yeast has been incorporated into the water add it to dry ingredients. Beat until smooth.

Pre-heat a frypan, lightly grease some egg-rings, put them in frypan to heat them through. When hot, three-quarters fill the rings with batter.

Allow to cook over low heat for approximately ten minutes or until surface is covered with holes. Remove rings.

Cover frypan and cook further 2 to 3 minutes or until surface has set. Remove from pan, cool on wire rack.

When cold, toast and serve with butter.
