SCOTTISH CRUMPETS



Scottish Crumpets image

These are very soft pancake-like treats but made larger (approx twice the size) and more thinly than pancakes. They can be spread with butter and/or jam and are traditionally rolled up before eating (although this adds nothing to the flavour).

Time 25m

Yield 12 crumpets

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 pinch salt
2 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons butter, melted
3/4 pint milk

Steps:

  • Beat the egg yolks and blend in the sifted flour, sugar, salt. Then add in the melted butter and milk to make a thin batter about the consistency of thin cream.
  • Beat the egg whites to the soft peak stage and quickly add to the batter, folding with a knife or metal spoon.
  • Heat a lightly greased gridle or a heavy frying pan and pour in large spoonfuls of the batter. Each crumpet should spread thinly to about 4/5" in diameter and you may have to roll/rotate the pan to achieve this.
  • When the batter is brown underneath and slightly bubbly on top, turn and cook on the other side (if you are feeling adventurous you could try tossing them). Best eaten when warm.

PIKELETS (SCOTTISH PANCAKES)



Pikelets (Scottish Pancakes) image

My Aussie friend uses this recipe as her standard pancake recipe. Pikelets are the Scottish version of the southern British crumpet. They are also great for afternoon teas. Serve with fresh-squeezed lemon juice and sugar, or with butter and jam. I always thought that I had the best pancake recipe in the world until I tried these!
