Time 30m

Yield Makes 8-10 crumpets

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

350ml milk
200g plain flour
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp fast-action dried yeast
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil , plus extra for the pan

Steps:

Heat 300ml of the milk in a pan until it just starts to bubble around the edges, then leave it to cool until it is tepid.
Measure out the flour and then put 3 tbsp back into the bag. Add the cocoa, yeast and sugar and then stir the milk in, a little at a time, until you have made a smooth batter. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1hr-1hr 30 mins or until doubled in size and very bubbly. Stir in a little more milk if the batter is very thick, if it is too thick the bubbles won't rise to the surface as well.
When risen, add the remaining 50ml milk to the batter to let it down a little, then heat the grill to high. Lightly oil the insides of 4 x 9cm metal crumpet rings or metal cooks' rings. Heat a large non-stick frying pan or griddle pan over a low-medium heat, add 1 tbsp oil and put the rings in the pan. Spoon the batter into the rings until they are half full. Let the crumpets cook slowly for about 10 mins or until the mixture has set and the bubbles on top have all popped. Lift the rings away carefully. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
If you now want to grill your crumpets, transfer your pan (if it has a heatproof handle) to the grill and cook until the tops are golden brown. If your pan doesn't have a heatproof handle, transfer the crumpets to a baking sheet and grill them on that instead. Can be made up to a day ahead or frozen until ready to grill and serve.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CRUMPETS WITH SWEET CREAM CHEESE

German Chocolate Crumpets with Sweet Cream Cheese image

I do love crumpets, which are similar but different from the English muffin. Most crumpets use yeast, but I omitted what in this particular recipe. I really loved the chocolate, the coconuts, and the pecans. Give this a try at tea time. I like these best with Lady Earl Grey Tea. Enjoy!

Ingredients

CRUMPETS
4 cup(s) flour
1/2 cup(s) sugar
1/2 cup(s) dark brown sugar
2 tablespoon(s) vanilla
2 cup(s) coconut flakes
1 cup(s) pecans, in pieces
1/2 cup(s) german cocoa powder (or substitute special dark cocoa powder)
1 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 cup(s) vegetable oil
2 - eggs
1 cup(s) whole milk
1 1/2 cup(s) water
CREAM CHEESE SPREAD
1 package(s) cream cheese
1/2 stick(s) butter
1 - drop of bavarian cream flavoring (from a dram)
1 tablespoon(s) dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon

Steps:

Mix all the crumpet ingredients by hand with a wooden spoon. When thoroughly mixed, let rest for 20 minutes in refrigerator.
Then in a frying pan and greased crumpet rings (you can also use tuna fish cans with top and bottom removed)on medium, spoon in batter. Only fill halfway up, but spread thoroughly around the bottom. I got my crumpet/English muffin rings on Amazon for a steal.
Do not flip until you have sufficient bubbles atop. Then remove rings and flip. After a quick finish on the top, remove from frying pan, and do over until all batter is used.
I keep mine warm in a Pyrex casserole dish in the oven at the 175F-200F.
To make spread, allow all ingredients to warm to room temperature. Mix very well. You may serve at room temperature or refrigerate.
You may also serve these with jam and Devonshire Cream (clotted cream).
