Crumpets

0 · Aug 18, 2016 · 4 Comments

Looking for something absolutely delicious for your weekend breakfast – look no further, home made crumpets are flavour of the month at my home. As with most extra delicious food items there may be a little work and patience involved but it is really worth the effort.  I’m a little impatient  so I often make the mixture the night before and leave it in the fridge overnight, you do need to let it get back to room temperature prior to use so the yeast can work its magic. These crumpets can also be cooked and frozen for toasting at a later date.

I serve with my Blood orange and Campari marmalade and a nice pot of tea.

Ingredients:

350 grams plain flour

14 grams dried yeast

1 tsp castor sugar

350 ml warm milk

1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda

1 tsp salt

150-200 ml warm water

oil for cooking

Equipment:

4 metal crumpet rings 3 inches in diameter- you can use egg rings but I find the mixture is rather thick it can seep through the bottom of the ring, crumpet rings have an extra metal lip on the bottom which gives it extra weight to hold in the mixture

Frying pan

Mixing bowels and wooden spoon

Method:

Mix flour and yeast

Disolve sugar in the warm milk and pour into flour/yeast. Using a wooden spoon mix vigorously for about 3-4 mins you need to create air holes (this is much easier then I expected, I use a wooden paddle used for rice)

Cover and leave in a warm space for 20 min to 1 hour you are wanting the mixture to rise and then drop, you will see the marks on the side of the bowl.

Add the bicarbonate and salt to about 100 mls of warm water, I don’t add it to the entire water suggested as you may not require all of the water.

Add the 100mls of water to the dough mixture and beat, keep adding water and mixing until you reach a double cream consistency, you want a thick but pouring consistency.

Leave covered for 20 minutes.

Now for the cooking

Grease the rings and heat a small dash of oil in the pan,  add the mixture to each ring, cook until golden  about 4-5 mins you will see bubbles and flip to brown the other side about another 3 mins.

    sounds delish but I don’t think I will be able to find these crumpet rings in Shepparton, so I will print this off & try it after my next trip to Melbourne! XX

    Hi
    Quick question about your refrigeration technique… Do you complete the whole process then refrigerate; bring back to room temp; stir and pour/cook or do you add the bicarbonate and salt to about 100 mls of warm water the morning of use (and continue from there?

      Hi Kristi Joy – very good question, I have actually made the entire mixture and left overnight. I think though your idea of completing from the bicarbonate step the next day would work better. If you try please let me know how it goes. I’ll attempt to do this also in the coming days.
