You’ll love these crumpets – they knock US store-bought crumpets into a cocked hat!
Here is the Warburton’s Crumpet Recipe…
Warburton's Crumpet Recipe
During the pandemic, UK baked goods giant released their official recipe, so that you and I didn't have to miss out on the national treasure - the crumpet!
Servings: 6 crumpets
Calories: 100kcal
Cost: $2
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 biscuit cutter
- 1 frying pan
Ingredients
- 150 g plain white flour
- 200 ml water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp dried year
Instructions
How to make the Crumpet Batter
- Add Flour, Water and Salt to a mixing bowl
- Mix vigorously with a whisk until your arm aches (at least 5 minutes) to create your crumpet batter
- Mix a few ml’s of water into to your dried yeast
- Add sugar, baking powder and yeast mixture to bowl and mix for another 30 seconds until you have a clear batter (and your arm aches even more!)
- Cover mixing bowl and put into a warm place for 15 mins (Top tip – make sure your mixing bowl is bigger than you need as it will expand)
How to bake your crumpets
- Place a greased metal biscuit cutter (any shape cutter you have to hand will also do the trick) into the middle of a non-stick frying pan
- Pre-heat your frying pan on a hob on a medium-high heat setting
- Before you start, give your batter a stir to remove any large air bubbles
- Use a ladle to drop approx. 60g batter into the cutter inside the pan
- Wait for approx. 4 mins – carefully lift the ring off the crumpet
- Remove baked Crumpet from pan (if the top looks a bit gooey flip over in the pan for a few seconds)
- Cool
- Repeat the above to make as many as you can eat!
- Toast and enjoy with butter, or anything else you fancy to top off your dough-licious bake…
Notes
These will be 1000% better than the "crumpets" you can find in the US stores, including those at TJ's - which I found to be pretty lousy.
Serve your crumpets toasted, with lashings of butter and a good quality jam!
