Crumpets With Cheese & Bacon image

Nice way to enjoy English crumpets. If you're from a country where they're not widely available do yourself a favour and make some from scratch, there are plenty of recipes on RecipeZaar for them. This recipe really works a lot better using natural cheese rather than processed cheese.

A cross between a scone and a crumpet, these easy to make biscuits will be the star of any meal, and you'll love that you don't need to heat up an oven. I searched for years before finding a bacon and cheese version of this recipe, which I modified to make this plain version that I love. When I finally found it I was amazed at how easy these are to make!

Time 45m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
2 tablespoons white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
3 eggs
½ cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix well.
  • Beat milk, eggs, and melted butter together in another bowl; stir into the flour mixture with a few strokes. Handle dough as little as possible.
  • Scrape the dough out onto a generously floured surface. Dip your fingers in flour and pat dough into a circle about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch rounds to form the scrumpets.
  • Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Frying pan should be greased very lightly, preferably with butter. Fill pan with some scrumpets and immediately reduce heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes. Turn, lower the heat, and cook for 5 minutes more. Cook remaining scrumpets and serve warm.

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 eggs
50ml milk

  • Heat the grill. Beat the eggs and milk together in a wide dish. Submerge the crumpets in the egg mixture, turning them once, then set aside for a few minutes.
  • Arrange the tomatoes cut-side up on a baking tray and grill for a few minutes, then cover the tray with foil to keep the tomatoes warm.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the crumpets for a few minutes on each side until the egg has set - you may have to do this in batches. Transfer them to a baking tray as you go.

Tips:

  • Make sure your crumpet batter is the right consistency. It should be thick and pourable, but not too runny.
  • Don't overcook your crumpets. They should be cooked through, but still have a soft and fluffy interior.
  • If you're using a crumpet ring, make sure it's well-oiled before you pour in the batter.
  • Be patient when cooking crumpets. They take a little longer to cook than pancakes or waffles.
  • Serve your crumpets warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, jam, honey, syrup, fruit, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Crumpets are a delicious and versatile breakfast food that can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings. They're easy to make at home and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. Whether you like them plain or topped with your favorite ingredients, crumpets are sure to become a new breakfast favorite.
