WHOLE-WHEAT CRUMPETS WITH MOCK CLOTTED CREAM
I cheat a little with the crumpets, frying them up free-form without employing crumpet or English-muffin rings. They come out flat, like pancakes, with a deep yeasty flavor and crisp crust. Though if you like molds, try using cookie cutters: hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades give the party a very "Alice in Wonderland" feel. Hot crumpets beg for clotted cream. Traditional recipes call for simmering cream for a couple of hours in a double boiler, then removing and chilling the cream, or clot, that forms on top. I did this once, and it was delicious, though not entirely worth it since you can buy clotted cream, or make a fake, mascarpone-based version that's just as good.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, yeast and honey. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until the mixture becomes foamy, about 10 minutes.
- Whisk in the warm water, both flours, salt and baking powder until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about one hour.
- To prepare the mock clotted cream, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mascarpone and cream until thick and stiff. Chill until ready to serve.
- To prepare the crumpets, set a griddle over medium-low heat and oil it. To make flat, pancakelike crumpets, spoon the batter onto the griddle and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side and 1 to 2 minutes on the other. To make the crumpets using English-muffin rings or cookie cutters, oil them liberally and place on the skillet. Spoon in batter 1/4-inch high. Let the crumpets cook until dry around the edges and bubbles have formed over the surface, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the rings and wipe clean. Turn crumpets over and cook until lightly browned, another 2 to 3 minutes. Re-oil the griddle and each ring before making another batch.

WHOLE WHEAT CRUMPETS
These are a little like an English muffin, except a bit more dense and cake-like with a hint of sweetness. They are good eaten warm and soft, or you can let them sit out a bit for a more European crusty texture, then slice and toast them. Serve in the manner of biscuits or English muffins. Good for sandwiches, too! Especially good is an egg sandwich made with these.

Steps:
- Stir warm water and honey together in a large bowl. Mix yeast into the warm water and let stand until the yeast begins to bubble, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir flour, salt, baking soda, and milk into yeast mixture. Cover bowl and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Preheat an electric griddle to medium-low heat (220 degrees F/105 degrees C) and grease the griddle. Grease the metal rings.
- Place the greased rings onto the griddle and allow to warm for 1 to 2 minutes; spoon about 3 tablespoons of batter into each ring. Batter will be elastic and stringy, but will fill out the ring as it cooks. Cook the crumpets until golden brown on the bottom and bubbles form on the top side, 5 to 8 minutes. Increase griddle temperature to 230 degrees F (110 degrees C) and flip the crumpets. Cook until underside is golden brown, 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Remove rings from crumpets, grease the rings and griddle again, and turn griddle heat back down to 220 degrees F (105 degrees C). Repeat to make 2 more batches of crumpets.

EASY CLOTTED CREAM
A tasty alternative to the real thing. Heavy cream is lightly sweetened, whipped until stiff, and mixed with a little sour cream for flavor. Serve with scones or fruit.

Steps:
- Fold vanilla into sour cream. Beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form the fold in the sugar. Fold this mixture into the sour cream/vanilla mixture.
Tips:
- Use fresh yeast: Fresh yeast is more active than active dry yeast, so it will produce a better rise in your crumpets. If you don't have fresh yeast, you can use active dry yeast, but you will need to activate it in warm water before using it.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit (24 to 29 degrees Celsius). If your kitchen is too cold, you can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on.
- Do not overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix just enough to combine the ingredients.
- Cook the crumpets over medium heat: If you cook the crumpets over too high heat, they will brown too quickly and not have a chance to rise properly. Medium heat will allow the crumpets to cook evenly and develop a nice golden brown color.
- Serve the crumpets warm: Crumpets are best served warm, with butter, jam, or honey. You can also top them with savory ingredients, such as cheese, bacon, or eggs.
Conclusion:
Whole wheat crumpets are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can make perfect crumpets every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try!
