Crumpet Recipe
These soft, fluffy homemade crumpets are full of signature holes, perfect for soaking up butter and honey. An easy British classic for breakfast or tea time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil or butter, for greasing
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour and salt, then whisk until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30–45 minutes until bubbly.
- Stir in baking powder and lightly grease a skillet and crumpet rings.
- Heat skillet over low heat, place rings, and fill each halfway with batter.
- Cook for 8–10 minutes until the tops set and holes appear. Optionally flip for 1 minute to lightly brown the tops.
- Remove from rings and let cool on a rack. Toast before serving if desired.
Notes
- Use crumpet rings for the classic shape and rise.
- Let batter rest fully to create the signature holes.
- Cook low and slow for even texture and doneness.
- Freeze leftovers and toast straight from frozen.
