Best 4 Scrumpets Recipes

CRUMPETS

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.

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.

CRUMPETS

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.
