Easy Crumpets Recipe

Ingredients

450g of Organic Pure Wholemeal Flour or Vegetable Flour

1/2 a tsp of Sea Salt

1                   tsp of Raw Organic Sugar

2                   tsp of Dried Organic Yeast

300ml of warmed Pure Organic Whole Milk or Coconut Milk

300ml of warmed Water

Coconut Oil, Organic Animal Lard or pure Unsalted Organic Butter for frying

Crumpet rings (optional but if not using add 50g more Flour, to assist the batter to stand up when cooking).

Method

Place the milk, water, sugar and salt in a bowl and mix it well to dissolve, sprinkle the yeast into the bowl then leave it to rest for about 5 minutes.

Place the flour in large mixing bowl, add the milk and water and mix it to obtain a thick smooth batter, and then leave the mixture alone to rest for at least 30 minutes.

Place in a heavy bottomed pan a small amount of the coconut oil, then place the crumpet rings in the oil in the pan and heat them for a few minutes.

When the rings are hot, pour the batter mixture into the rings half filling them.

Cook for a few minutes or until lots of small bubbles appear on the surface.

Remove the rings and turn the crumpets over and cook the other side for a few minutes.

If not using the rings drop a spoonful the slightly thicker mixture into the hot oiled pan, spreading slightly if necessary, when bubbles appear on the surface and the batters is set turn the crumpets over and cook the other side for a few minutes if using straight away.

If making to use at a later date just remove them from the pan when their tops have firmed and allow them to cool. These will last 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator or they can be frozen and then be heated up in a toaster or under an overhead grill.
