Sabrina’s Crumpets Recipe
Who needs bagels or English muffins when you can make delicious Crumpets instead. They have the same chewy texture as bread, but they cook like a pancake with a tasty crispy crust. As the batter cooks up, it creates lots of tasty bubbles, perfect for holding pools of melted butter and honey. Once you make a batch of these amazing griddle cakes, you may never go back to any other breakfast bread again.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm whole milk , warm to the touch, 105-110 degrees
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast , 2 ¼ teaspoons
- 3 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup water , room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter , melted for cooking
To Serve:
- softened butter
- raspberry jam
- honey
Instructions
- Add the milk sugar and yeast to your stand mixer and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
- Add in the flour on the lowest speed setting in 1 cup increments until just mixed in.
- Add the salt and raise to a high speed for 2 minutes.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for 1 hour.
- Mix the water and baking soda in a small cup then add it to the stand mixer on low speed and beat it into the dough for 1 minute.
- Note: Using 6 English muffin rings, you will be cooking these on a griddle or flat skillet.
- Butter the inside of the muffin rings with a kitchen brush.
- Add the rings to your cooking surface on medium-low heat.
- Fill the rings halfway with the crumpet batter and let cook for 8-10 minutes.
- When bubbles have formed and the bottom is crispy but not burned remove the rings gently and flip the crumpets.
- Cook for one minute to toast the second side then remove from the pan and repeat in two more batches to make 18 crumpets.
- Note: Brush your English muffin rings inside with butter between each batch.
- Serve with butter, raspberry jam or even a drizzle of honey.
Notes
Store: Let the crumpets cool completely before storing in an airtight plastic bag. Cooling prevents steam and moisture so they stay fresh longer. They will last about 4 days at room temperature and a week in the fridge.
Reheat: You can reheat your crumpets on the stove, in a toaster or microwave. The best way is the skillet or toaster so they get nice and crispy.
Freeze: Cool the crumpets completely and wrap them individually in plastic wrap or wax paper. Freeze in a freezer bag for up to 6 months. Reheat from frozen in the toaster like a frozen waffle.
