Warburtons crumpet recipe
Ingredients (for six crumpets):
150g of plain white flour
200ml of water
½ teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of dried yeast
Method
Add flour, water and salt to a mixing bowl
Mix vigorously with a whisk (for at least five minutes) to create your crumpet batter
Mix a few millilitres of water into to your dried yeast
Add sugar, baking powder and yeast mixture to bowl and mix for another 30 seconds until you have a clear batter
Cover mixing bowl and put into a warm place for 15 minutes (top tip – make sure your mixing bowl is bigger than you need as it will expand)
Place a greased metal biscuit cutter (any shape cutter you have to hand will also do the trick) into the middle of a non-stick frying pan
Pre-heat your frying pan on a hob on a medium-high heat setting
Before you start, give your batter a stir to remove any large air bubbles
Use a ladle to drop approximately 60g of batter into the cutter inside the pan
Wait for approximately four minutes, then carefully lift the ring off the crumpet
Remove baked crumpet from pan (if the top looks a bit gooey flip over in the pan for a few seconds)
Leave to cool.
