12. Crumpet

I got this recipe from Delia Online as it looked pretty simple and straight forward, which it was! It's quite simply a combination of flour, milk, water, yeast, sugar and salt with a bit of time for proving (ideal for getting on with some housework!) and then cooked in a few minutes on the hob.


The recipe calls for egg/crumpet rings to portion the batter into in the pan, but we didn't have any of these so made do with my mini egg frying pan! It worked well enough, although i couldn't get a flat and even crumpet finish as they would have either been huge or quite thin, so the edges petered out a bit. I'd say they turned out pretty good for a first attempt and considering that i didn't feel the dough had proved as much as it should (possible that the yeast was too old or the milk/water combination too hot to start with).

Quite scrumptious!
