Ingredients
- 450 g Plain Flour 3⅓ Cups
- 1 teaspoon Soft Brown Sugar
- 7 g Dried Yeast
- 350 ml Milk 1½ Cups
- 350 ml Fizzy bottled water 1½ Cups
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground sea salt
- ½ teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda
- Cooking Oil
Instructions
- Sift the yeast and flour into a large mixing bowl, add the sugar and mix together.
- Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it reaches 20°C or 68°F. Add it to the flour mix with the water and beat until it reaches a smooth mix.Cover the bowl with cling film and set aside in a warm room for 2 hours.
- Whisk in the bicarbonate of soda and salt.
- Heat a heavy-based frying pan over a heat just below medium. Add a little oil into the pan and then pour in 1.5cm (just over ½") of the mix into 10cm (4") baking rings.Allow the crumpets to slowly cook; they will take around 8-10 minutes.
- At this point in time, you can flip them over and cook for no more than 60 seconds.
It should be halfway between single and double cream in texture.
When cooked, the top of the crumpet will be dry and pockmarked.
