Crumpets

[Glen&Teresa 0]

When I was in the US - I searched high and low for this delightful food without success. In fact it was one of the few foods I missed while I was there - I am hoping it is a case that it is known as something else

So here it is

And where do I get it

I was wondering about them the other day! after I ate the last two in my pack...

I can't imagine they'd be difficult to make

Here is a recipe I found for Crumpets

ngredients

450g/1lb plain flour, sifted

½ tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

2 tsp/1x7g sachet fast-action dried yeast

300ml/½ pint warm milk

300ml /½ pint warm water

vegetable oil

4 crumpet rings or 7.5cm/3in plain pastry cutters, greased

Method

1. Place the flour and salt into a large bowl and stir in the sugar and yeast making a well in the centre. Pour in the warm milk and water and mix to give quite a thick batter. Beat well until completely combined and cover with a tea towel or cling film.

2. Leave in a warm place to rise for about an hour until it's a light, spongy texture. Stir well to knock out any air and pour into a large jug.

3. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a very low heat with a drop of oil. Wipe the pan with kitchen paper to remove excess oil. Sit the greased crumpet rings in the pan and leave to heat up for a couple of minutes.

4. Pour in enough mixture to fill the rings just over halfway up the sides. Leave to cook until plenty of small holes appear on the surface and the batter has just dried out. This will take about 8-10 minutes.

5. Remove the rings and turn over the crumpets to cook for a further minute or two on the other side. Sit the first batch of crumpets on a wire rack while continuing to cook the remaining mixture.

ewww; vegemite on a crumpet is a TRAVESTY, and I say that as an Aussie

honey or maple syrup is the only way to go

(the wiki article mentioned cheese first on the list of toppings, which also disquieted me more than somewhat )

Thanks it worked, happy now lol

[StillThePrettiest 3]

excellent

but what you've chosen isn't a CUSTOM member title; it could be applied to almost any couple on here

I got some crumpets from publix once but next time i went to get them they didn't have them so i guess its just luck of the draw.

Yeah I was just being silly - vegemite is far to savory to be a good combination But hey any excuse to use vegemite in front of an American is worth the effort
