Crumpets image

My local grocery store quit selling crumpets, so I decided to try my hand at making my own! These are a nice alternative to English muffins. To serve, toast the crumpets whole and spread with butter, honey, jelly, or your favorite topping.

Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 ¾ cups warm water, divided
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons dry milk powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon baking soda
cooking spray
Crumpet rings

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1 cup of warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix flour, milk powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle. Add the yeast mixture and remaining 1 3/4 cups warm water. Mix well with a wooden spoon until dough is the consistency of cake or waffle batter. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm spot until bubbly, about 1 hour.
  • Combine 2 tablespoons water and baking soda in a small bowl. Mix into the batter. Let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Heat a cast iron griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the griddle and inside of the crumpet rings with cooking spray. Arrange the rings on the griddle.
  • Fill crumpet rings 2/3 of the way with batter. Cook until tops are covered in bubbles and starting to look dry, 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully lift up crumpet rings, flip the crumpets, and cook until second side is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn heat down if crumpet is overly dark or still raw in the middle.

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons quick-rise instant yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups warm water (112 to 118 degrees F/44 to 48 degrees C)
1 ¼ cups warm milk (112 to 118 degrees F/44 to 48 degrees C)
4 3-inch metal cookie cutters with open tops or crumpet molds
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Whisk 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Combine water and milk in a separate bowl and quickly whisk the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until batter is thick and smooth. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until spongy, about 1 hour. Stir dough to reduce sponginess.
  • Place a rack into the oven and preheat to 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).
  • Spray a skillet and round metal open-top cookie cutters or crumpet molds with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-low heat, place the metal cutters or molds into the skillet, and let the molds heat up. Spoon batter into the molds, filling them about halfway. Let the crumpets cook until the bottoms are browned, the tops appear nearly dry, and popped bubbles appear on top, about 5 minutes.
  • Use tongs to lift molds out of the pan; remove molds from the crumpets. Flip and return crumpets to skillet to cook the other sides until browned, 1 to 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Keep cooked crumpets warm on rack in the preheated oven while you cook remaining crumpets.

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/4 cups milk
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups water, lukewarm
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 tablespoon clover honey
2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Nonstick spray
Whipped Butter, for serving, recipe follows
Orange-Blueberry Marmalade, for serving, recipe follows
1 cup cold heavy cream
Pinch sea salt
8 medium oranges
4 lemons
2 cups fresh blueberries
6 cups sugar
2 pouches liquid fruit pectin

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.

EASY CRUMPETS

This is my mom's recipe for traditional SOUTH AFRICAN crumpets (little pancakes, or flapjacks). They are great for kids and they are melt in the mouth! My mom used to make a huge amount to send to school for birthdays - what a hit! They don't have yeast, so if you are looking for another type of crumpet, this isn't the recipe for you.

SCRUMPETS

A cross between a scone and a crumpet, these easy to make biscuits will be the star of any meal, and you'll love that you don't need to heat up an oven. I searched for years before finding a bacon and cheese version of this recipe, which I modified to make this plain version that I love. When I finally found it I was amazed at how easy these are to make!

Time 45m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
2 tablespoons white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
3 eggs
½ cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix well.
  • Beat milk, eggs, and melted butter together in another bowl; stir into the flour mixture with a few strokes. Handle dough as little as possible.
  • Scrape the dough out onto a generously floured surface. Dip your fingers in flour and pat dough into a circle about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch rounds to form the scrumpets.
  • Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Frying pan should be greased very lightly, preferably with butter. Fill pan with some scrumpets and immediately reduce heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes. Turn, lower the heat, and cook for 5 minutes more. Cook remaining scrumpets and serve warm.

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup warm nonfat milk
1 cup warm water (about 95 to 103° F.)
1 tablespoon (1 packet) dry active yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry or kamut flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon hot water
Equipment:
English-muffin rings

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir lightly, then let the mixture stand until creamy, about 5 minutes.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flours and salt. Using a wooden spoon, beat the flour mixture into the yeast mixture. Keep stirring until the batter is very elastic, about 5 minutes.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rise until doubled and bubbly, about 1 hour, 30 minutes.
  • Place the baking soda in a small bowl and add the hot water to dissolve it. Beat the baking soda into the batter, cover again, and let rise until bubbly, about 30 minutes.
  • Generously grease the inside of 6 English-muffin rings. Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat, and place the rings (or as many as will fit) on the griddle. Stir down the batter, and ladle it into the rings, only 1/2 inch full. Be careful not to add too much batter, or the crumpet will be too thick and won't cook all the way through. Cook until the bottom is firmly set, the top starts to dry, and small holes begin to form on the surface, about 7 minutes. Slip off the muffin rings (they may be hot, so use pot holders), flip the crumpets with a spatula, and cook the other side until firm, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely before toasting. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ½tsp dried yeast
240ml warm milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2tsp sea salt
2tsp caster sugar
470g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder dissolved in 60ml warm water

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your scrumpets.
  • Make sure your buttermilk is at room temperature. This will help the batter to rise properly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the scrumpets tough.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten to relax and the batter to rise.
  • Cook the scrumpets over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the scrumpets warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, jam, syrup, and fruit.
