Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 ½tsp dried yeast
240ml warm milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2tsp sea salt
2tsp caster sugar
470g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder dissolved in 60ml warm water
vegetable oil, to grease
butter or cheese, to serve

Steps:

In a bowl stir together the yeast and 240ml warm water and let it stand for 5-10 mins. Add the warm milk, butter, salt and sugar. Add the flour and stir until the batter becomes smooth. Let stand for 30 mins.
Stir in the baking powder dissolved in water, leave to rise for 20-30 mins.
Grease a heavy-based frying pan with a little vegetable oil and heat over medium-low heat. Lightly grease 4 x 9cm diameter crumpet rings. Spoon batter into the rings so it comes halfway up the sides. Reduce heat to low, cover with an upturned deep frying pan to give the crumpets space to rise. Cook until the tops look dry, about 10-12 mins.
Flip them over and cook for 5 mins until golden and firm. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve toasted with butter or with cheese melted under the grill.
