Ingredients
•
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
•
1 teaspoon white sugar
•
2 3/4 cups warm water, divided
•
3 cups all-purpose flour
•
2 tablespoons dry milk powder
•
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
•
2 tablespoons water
•
1 teaspoon baking soda
•
cooking spray
•
Crumpet rings
Directions
1
Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1 cup of warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, mix flour, milk powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle. Add the yeast mixture and remaining 1 3/4 cups warm water. Mix well with a wooden spoon until dough is the consistency of cake or waffle batter. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm spot until bubbly, about 1 hour.
3
Combine 2 tablespoons water and baking soda in a small bowl. Mix into the batter. Let stand for 15 minutes.
4
Heat a cast iron griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the griddle and inside of the crumpet rings with cooking spray. Arrange the rings on the griddle.
5
Fill crumpet rings 2/3 of the way with batter. Cook until tops are covered in bubbles and starting to look dry, 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully lift up crumpet rings, flip the crumpets, and cook until second side is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn heat down if crumpet is overly dark or still raw in the middle.
