Home Made Crumpet Recipe

Looking for something yummy to make that is quick and easy and to top it off low in fat? I just found a crumpet recipe that is all that (",)

Makes 20 Crumpets

What you will need is:

450g plain flour
10g salt
15g yeast
dried butter to grease

How to Make it:

  • Sift the salt and flour together n a large bowl. Measure 600ml warm water and whisk three-quarters into the flour to form a very smooth paste.
  • Blend the yeast with 2 tablespoons of the remaining water and stir until thoroughly mixed and then mix it into the flour paste.
  • Cover the bowl and leave it in a warm place for about 10minutes until the mixture has risen by roughly half its original volume.
  • Butter 4 metal crumpet or tartlet rings, Rub a frying pan or griddle with butter and warm gently over a low heat.
  • Sit the crumpet rings on the griddle or frying pan. Pour the batter into the rings to a depth of about 1cm.
  • Cook over a low heat until lots of small holes form, then flip the crumpets over and cook the tops. Continue to cook the crumpets in batches until the mixture is finished.

Tip to make it even better:

Beat together 125g butter, 25g icing sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and zest of half a lemon and drizzle over the crumpets.



Each Crumpet contains 81 Calories and 0.7g fat
