Tips:

When making the crumpet batter, use a digital food thermometer to ensure the milk is at the correct temperature (105-115°F).
If you don't have a digital food thermometer, you can check the temperature of the milk by placing a finger in it. The milk should feel warm to the touch, but not hot.
Make sure to whisk the crumpet batter until it is smooth and free of lumps.
When cooking the crumpets, ensure the pan is hot enough before adding the batter. If the pan is not hot enough, the crumpets will not cook evenly.
Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the crumpets. Leave enough space between each crumpet so that they have room to expand.
Cook the crumpets over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the crumpets will burn.
Flip the crumpets once during cooking. When the tops of the crumpets are covered in bubbles and the edges are slightly golden brown, it is time to flip them.
Cook the crumpets for an additional 1-2 minutes on the second side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the crumpets warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, honey, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Homemade crumpets are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy fresh, fluffy crumpets right out of the pan. Whether you like them plain or topped with your favorite ingredients, homemade crumpets are a treat everyone will enjoy.
