Best 3 Whole Wheat Crumpets With Mock Clotted Cream Recipes
Indulge in the delightful flavors of homemade whole wheat crumpets paired with a luscious mock clotted cream, all made from scratch. These crumpets boast a wholesome nutty flavor from whole wheat flour, a tender and airy texture with a crispy exterior, and a slight tang from buttermilk. The mock clotted cream, a vegan alternative, is a rich and velvety spread that perfectly complements the crumpets. Both recipes are easy to follow and require minimal ingredients, making them a delightful treat for breakfast, brunch, or afternoon tea.

WHOLE-WHEAT CRUMPETS WITH MOCK CLOTTED CREAM
I cheat a little with the crumpets, frying them up free-form without employing crumpet or English-muffin rings. They come out flat, like pancakes, with a deep yeasty flavor and crisp crust. Though if you like molds, try using cookie cutters: hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades give the party a very "Alice in Wonderland" feel. Hot crumpets beg for clotted cream. Traditional recipes call for simmering cream for a couple of hours in a double boiler, then removing and chilling the cream, or clot, that forms on top. I did this once, and it was delicious, though not entirely worth it since you can buy clotted cream, or make a fake, mascarpone-based version that's just as good.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, yeast and honey. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until the mixture becomes foamy, about 10 minutes.
- Whisk in the warm water, both flours, salt and baking powder until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about one hour.
- To prepare the mock clotted cream, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mascarpone and cream until thick and stiff. Chill until ready to serve.
- To prepare the crumpets, set a griddle over medium-low heat and oil it. To make flat, pancakelike crumpets, spoon the batter onto the griddle and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side and 1 to 2 minutes on the other. To make the crumpets using English-muffin rings or cookie cutters, oil them liberally and place on the skillet. Spoon in batter 1/4-inch high. Let the crumpets cook until dry around the edges and bubbles have formed over the surface, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the rings and wipe clean. Turn crumpets over and cook until lightly browned, another 2 to 3 minutes. Re-oil the griddle and each ring before making another batch.

CHEF JOHN'S CLOTTED CREAM
While the name doesn't exactly make the mouth water, the flavor and texture of clotted cream are the stuff of legends. The long, slow cooking sort of toasts the cream, which imparts a sweet, nuttiness that I don't think I've tasted in any other preparation. This is just delicious spread on warm biscuits or scones and topped with homemade jam.

Tips:
- Use fresh yeast for the best results. If you don't have fresh yeast, you can use active dry yeast, but you'll need to let the dough rise for a longer period of time.
- Make sure the water is warm, but not hot. Hot water will kill the yeast and prevent the dough from rising.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place, such as a sunny windowsill or a turned-off oven with the light on.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crumpets tough.
- Cook the crumpets over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the crumpets will burn on the outside before they're cooked through on the inside.
- Serve the crumpets warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey.
