Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and egg until thickened and pale in color. Stir in 2/3 cup of the milk until well blended.
- 2. Add the flour, salt, and cream of tartar and blend until smooth.
- 3. Mix the baking soda with the remaining milk and stir into the mixture.
- 4. Heat a greased griddle or heavy, large skillet. Add large spoonfuls of the batter and cook over medium heat until golden brown on the bottom and bubbles are forming and bursting on top, much like pancakes.
- 5. Turn and cook the other side; transfer to paper towels until all are cooked. Serve with butter and/or the jam of your choice.
ENGLISH/SCOTTISH CRUMPETS
Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir the sugar or honey into the warm water. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit until it bubbles, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and let it sit for about half an hour in a warm place. Grease a griddle or frying pan and the crumpet rings or cookie cutters. Place the rings on the cooking surface and preheat all. Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter into each 3" ring and cook over medium low heat until set, about 10 minutes. (Avoid cooking them too quickly.) The top should be full of holes when they are done. Remove the crumpets from the rings and brown the other side, if desired, for a minute or so. Repeat until all the batter is used. Serve warm with butter and jam or clotted cream and jam.

These are very soft pancake-like treats but made larger (approx twice the size) and more thinly than pancakes. They can be spread with butter and/or jam and are traditionally rolled up before eating (although this adds nothing to the flavour).
