Number Of Ingredients 20

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).
