CRUMPETS

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp sugar

• 250 ml water, lukewarm

• 375ml lukewarm full cream milk

• 2 Tbsp soft butter

• 350g flour, sifted

• 2 tsp instant yeast

• 2 tsp baking powder

• salt

Cooking Instructions

1. Combine the water, milk and butter and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, baking powder, sugar and salt then pour in the liquid.

3. Mix well until all the ingredients are well combined then cover with cling film and allow to rise for 1 hour in a warm spot.

4. After an hour the batter should have risen slightly and formed air holes. If the batter is a little thick (it needs to be the consistency of shop-bought custard), add a splash of water and mix through.

5. Heat a non-stick frying pan over low-medium heat.

6. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot pan and allow to cook for 4-5 minutes until air bubble have formed.

7. Flip over and cook for another 30 seconds.

8. Remove from the pan and continue with the remaining batter.

9. Serve the crumpets with a knob of butter and a drizzle of honey/syrup.
