Steps:
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk until lukewarm. Combine the milk, flour, water, butter, honey, yeast, baking powder and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook attachment, mix on high speed until completely blended and a soft dough has formed, 2 minutes. Remove the bowl, cover with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and put in a warm spot until risen and bubbly, about 1 hour.
- Lightly spray a cast-iron or nonstick skillet or griddle with nonstick spray and heat over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Spray the metal rings well with non-stick spray and place them in the pan or on the griddle. Fill each ring with a scant 1/4 cup of the batter.
- Cook until the crumpets are set and the bottoms are lightly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the rings, flip the crumpets and cook until completely cooked through and the bottoms are lightly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes longer. While they are cooking, wash and spray the rings with nonstick spray for the next batch.
- Butter the tops with the Whipped Butter and spread with the Orange-Blueberry Marmalade. Or split the crumpets and toast (like you would an English muffin), and spread with the Whipped Butter and Orange-Blueberry Marmalade.
- Combine the cream and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whip attachment, whip on high speed until the cream is light and fluffy and turns to butter. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the butter into a bowl and chill for 15 minutes before serving.
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest of the oranges and lemons. Cut the zest pieces into thin slices, then finely chop or grind and set aside.
- Peel the remaining white part of the peel from the fruit and discard. Chop the fruit pulp, reserving any juice and set aside.
- Place the zest and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the reserved fruit pulp and juice, cover and simmer on low heat for an additional 7 minutes. Add the blueberries and simmer for 3 more minutes.
- Stir the sugar into the fruit in the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil and cook exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the pectin. Remove from the heat and skim off any foam with metal spoon.
- Serve at room temperature.
BUTTER PECAN COOKIES
When my daughter was a teen, these butter pecan cookies earned her two blue ribbons from two county fairs. Then a few years ago, her own daughter took home a blue ribbon for the same cookie. Needless to say, these mouthwatering morsels are real winners!-Martha Thefield, Cedartown, Georgia

Steps:
- In a food processor, finely grind 1/2 cup pecans with the sugar. Add flour and butter; process until moist clumps form. With wet fingers, press crust evenly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- With a fork, prick bottom of crust all over. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes (if crust puffs up, gently press down with the back of a spoon). Let cool completely.
- Spread ice cream evenly in cooled crust. Chop remaining 1/2 cup pecans; sprinkle on top. Freeze, covered loosely with plastic wrap, until firm, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
Tips:
- Use melted butter: This will help the crumpets cook evenly and give them a golden brown color.
- Don't over-mix the batter: Over-mixing will result in tough crumpets. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest: This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in lighter, fluffier crumpets.
- Cook the crumpets over medium heat: This will prevent them from burning.
- Flip the crumpets only once: Flipping them too often will result in deflated crumpets.
- Serve the crumpets warm: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
Conclusion:
Butter pecan crumpets are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch treat. They are perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special occasion. With their crispy exterior and fluffy interior, these crumpets are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
