Description

Crumpets are a quintessentially British breakfast food that are a cross between pancakes and English muffins. Traditionally, crumpets are made with eggs, but this easy recipe is for those who want to enjoy crumpets without eggs. These crumpets are fluffy, light, and perfect for smothering with butter and jam.

Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

20 minutes

Ingredient

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Covered container
  • Large non-stick skillet
  • Round biscuit cutter or metal ring
  • Pastry brush
  • Spatula

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add the warm water and stir until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm, draft-free place for about an hour, or until the mixture has doubled in size.
  4. Add the baking soda and vegetable oil to the mixture and stir until well combined.
  5. Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Place a round biscuit cutter or metal ring in the skillet and lightly grease the inside of the ring with vegetable oil using a pastry brush.
  7. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the crumpet batter into the ring and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the top of the crumpet is covered in holes and the bottom is golden brown.
  8. Remove the ring using tongs and flip the crumpet over using a spatula.
  9. Cook the crumpet for another 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
  10. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the inside of the ring each time.
  11. Serve the crumpets warm, topped with butter and jam.

Notes

It's important to let the crumpet batter rise for at least an hour to ensure that the crumpets are light and fluffy. If you don't have a round biscuit cutter or metal ring, you can use a clean, empty tuna can with both ends removed.
