Crumpets are neither bread rolls nor pancakes but somewhere inbetween. Nevertheless, they make a wonderful breakfast because they are as fluffy as a fresh bread roll and yet they can be cooked in a pan. What makes them so special are the holes. These are a result of the long baking process and are particularly good for soaking up toppings. Personally, I find crumpets taste best with a syrup or something similar. For this recipe I have used date syrup.

Ingredients

for 8 pieces

Batter
200 g white flour
1 pinch salt
1 tsp dry yeast
1 ½ dl oat drink
1 dl water
1 tsp baking powder
Crumpets
  oil, for frying

How it's done

Batter

Mix the flour, salt and yeast in a bowl. Pour in the oat milk and water, combine to form a smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 1 hr. Mix the baking powder into the batter.

Crumpets

Grease the inside of the ring-shaped moulds with oil. Heat an uncoated frying pan, brush with oil, place the moulds in the pan, fill each with approx. 2 tbsp of batter. Cook the crumpets over a medium heat for approx. 10 mins. until little bubbles begin to appear. Remove, release the crumpets from the moulds using a sharp knife, turn over and cook briefly. Cover and set aside. Repeat these steps with the remainder of the batter.
