Provided by Elizabeth

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Cups Flour
2-1/2 tsp Yeast*
1/2 to 1 tsp Sugar**
1-1/2 Cups Buttermilk, Lukewarm
2 Tbsp Butter, Melted
1 tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Honey
*This is the equivalent of just under 1 Tbsp or a prepackaged packet of yeast.
** You can base this on how well things rise in your house, a little more sugar will help kick start the yeast.

Steps:

  • Whisk Flour, Yeast & Sugar together.
  • Combine Buttermilk, Butter, Salt & Honey.
  • Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. (Don't over-mix! It will make your batter flat and dense.)
  • Allow the batter to rise for at least an hour.
  • Scoop roughly 1/4 Cup of batter into lightly oiled silicon cupcake tins or ring molds placed on an oiled baking pan or silicon baking sheet. (So many options, basically you want to choose something that will help the crumpets hold their shape, one recipe ever recommended using mason jar lids.)
  • Bake at 300 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until batter is cooked thru and firm. The tops will be lightly browned.
  • Cut in half, top with Butter and Honey, or Jam, or Syrup, or Nutella, or Chocolate Sauce, or.... anything at all that sounds delicious.

CRUMPETS

My local grocery store quit selling crumpets, so I decided to try my hand at making my own! These are a nice alternative to English muffins. To serve, toast the crumpets whole and spread with butter, honey, jelly, or your favorite topping.

Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 ¾ cups warm water, divided
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons dry milk powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon baking soda
cooking spray
Crumpet rings

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1 cup of warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix flour, milk powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle. Add the yeast mixture and remaining 1 3/4 cups warm water. Mix well with a wooden spoon until dough is the consistency of cake or waffle batter. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm spot until bubbly, about 1 hour.
  • Combine 2 tablespoons water and baking soda in a small bowl. Mix into the batter. Let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Heat a cast iron griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the griddle and inside of the crumpet rings with cooking spray. Arrange the rings on the griddle.
  • Fill crumpet rings 2/3 of the way with batter. Cook until tops are covered in bubbles and starting to look dry, 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully lift up crumpet rings, flip the crumpets, and cook until second side is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn heat down if crumpet is overly dark or still raw in the middle.

Categories     Breakfast, Brunch

Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ½tsp dried yeast
240ml warm milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2tsp sea salt
2tsp caster sugar
470g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder dissolved in 60ml warm water
vegetable oil, to grease
butter or cheese, to serve

Steps:

  • In a bowl stir together the yeast and 240ml warm water and let it stand for 5-10 mins. Add the warm milk, butter, salt and sugar. Add the flour and stir until the batter becomes smooth. Let stand for 30 mins.
  • Stir in the baking powder dissolved in water, leave to rise for 20-30 mins.
  • Grease a heavy-based frying pan with a little vegetable oil and heat over medium-low heat. Lightly grease 4 x 9cm diameter crumpet rings. Spoon batter into the rings so it comes halfway up the sides. Reduce heat to low, cover with an upturned deep frying pan to give the crumpets space to rise. Cook until the tops look dry, about 10-12 mins.
  • Flip them over and cook for 5 mins until golden and firm. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve toasted with butter or with cheese melted under the grill.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the buttermilk is at room temperature before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough crumpets.
  • Cook the crumpets over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the crumpets will burn on the outside and be raw on the inside.
  • Cook the crumpets until they are golden brown and cooked through. Crumpets that are not cooked through will be doughy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Serve the crumpets warm with your favorite toppings. Butter, honey, and jam are all classic choices.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk crumpets are a delicious and versatile breakfast food. They are easy to make and can be topped with a variety of ingredients. Whether you like them plain or topped with your favorite fruits, jams, or spreads, crumpets are a great way to start your day.
