The Croft Cookbook

A cookbook for the masses

Crumpets

Cakes, Biscuits and Bread  

Ingredients

100 gm Plain flour
1� Tbsp Granulated white sugar
Salt
125 ml Milk
3 tsp Baking powder
1 Tbsp Butter or margarine
1 Egg(s)

Method

Beat the egg and sugar until fluffy. Stir in the melted butter, then half the milk. Add the sifted flour and baking powder, then the rest of the milk, beating well.

Heat a frying pan or griddle. Melt a small knob of butter and using a ladle or tablespoon, drop some mixture onto the pan. When the mixture forms small bubbles around the edge, turn the crumpet. When the other side is cooked, place onto a tea towel and cover to keep warm Continue until the mixture is all used.

Notes

It is important to get the temperature of the pan just right, otherwise the crumpets either disintegrate or burn. Trial and error is the only way to get it right!
