Crumpet-style with butter and jam Recipe

British · Bread · 30 min total

These homemade crumpets are soft, spongy, and full of nooks and crannies perfect for soaking up butter and jam. A classic British teatime treat.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 3/4 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• Butter, for serving
• Jam, for serving

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Add warm milk and water, and beat until smooth. Cover and let rest in a warm place for 30 minutes until bubbly.
2. Stir in baking powder until well combined. The batter should be thick but pourable; add a tablespoon of water if too thick.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease crumpet rings (or use egg rings) and place in the pan.
4. Pour about 1/3 cup batter into each ring. Cook for 5-7 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
5. Remove rings carefully, flip crumpets, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the second side.
6. Transfer to a wire rack. Toast lightly before serving, then top generously with butter and jam.

Tips

• For extra nooks and crannies, let the batter rest longer (up to 1 hour) before adding baking powder.
• Serve immediately after toasting for the best texture.
• Store leftover crumpets in an airtight container; reheat in a toaster.
