ENGLISH CRUMPETS
My kids tasted crumpets on vacation but we can not get them locally. I tried several recipes I found on the web, and this is my modification of one I found on EuropeanCuisines.com. That one was quite salty, so I cut the salt in half. I also found the texture to be better with 100% bread flour rather than the blend of AP and bread flour that they recommend. Might be a result of differences in flour protein contents in different parts of the world. My next project will be to try to make a whole grain variation. If you try that and are successful, please post! I always weigh my flour, I use 460 grams.

Steps:
- Mix first 5 ingredients for about 5 minutes, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk, about an hour.
- Add salt, mix again, rise again.
- Mix in baking soda and milk.
- Heat pan to medium low. Butter crumpet rings (can use any 3-4 inch rings such as empty tuna cans with top and bottom remover, or commercial egg rings) and pan. Pour in just enough batter to fill the bottom of the ring.
- Cook until brown on bottom and just set on top. There should be bubbles all over the top. Remove rings.
- Turn briefly to cook the other side.
- To serve, toast and spread with butter or jam.
