Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk heated to 110ºF - 115ºF
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the milk, sugar and yeast.  Let them sit until the yeast starts to bubble, about 5 minutes. 
  2. Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture and beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and it stretches when you lift out the beater.  Remove the bowl from the mixer and cover tightly with plastic wrap.  Place in a warm, draft-free area until the mixture has doubled in size and is bubbly on top, about 1 hour.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the water and baking soda.  Stir this mixture into the batter, then set aside for 30 minutes.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium low heat.  Spray the surface lightly with nonstick cooking spray, and spray 4- 3 1/2 -inch crumpet molds.  Place the molds in the skillet.  Add enough of the batter to the center of each mold to go about halfway up the mold (about 3 tablespoons) and then cook until the bottoms are a deep golden brown and air bubbles have formed on the top, about 10-12 minutes.  Use a pair of tongs to remove the molds, then turn the crumpets over to cook on the second side for about a minute.
  5. Remove the crumpets to a plate or serving platter, then repeat until you have used all of the batter.  Serve warm.

Notes

  • I use NONSTICK EGG RINGS that I bought off of Amazon for my crumpet rings. Some have successfully used mason jar lids, but you’ll want to make sure they are well oiled.
