How to make crumpets
Nothing beats a warm crumpet straight from the pan and smothered in butter. Try something different and place a slice of cheese on top of your crumpet and gently grill.
Tips for making the best crumpets:
1. What flour are crumpets made from?
In our recipe, we have used strong white bread flour
2. Why don't my crumpets have holes?
If you add too much batter, there will be few holes, but the inside will be slightly stodgy. We suggest using 9cm (3in) rings and fill them halfway with the mixture.
Method
Step 1
Warm the milk and the water together.
Ingredients for this step
- 300mlMilk (whole)
- 300mlWater
Step 2
Place all of the ingredients into a bowl and beat until smooth (1 to 2 minutes). Leave until the mixture is frothy and double in size.
Step 3
Grease and heat a heavy frying pan or griddle and 9 cm (3 in) rings and half fill with the mixture.
Step 4
Maintaining a moderate heat, cook the crumpets for 5 minutes until the mixture bubbles. Reduce the heat until the bubbles have burst.
Step 5
Turn the crumpets over and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Step 6
Serve hot with butter and jam. If allowed to cool, toast before serving.
