Ingredients
Scale
150g (1 cup) white flour
200ml (3/4 cup + 1 tbsp) warm water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp yeast
1 tbsp warm water
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the yeast and 1 tablespoon of warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
- Add the warm water and the activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until well combined.
- Cover the bowl with a cloth and allow the batter to rise in a warm place for about 20-30 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and brush with a little melted butter.
- Pour small rounds of batter onto the hot skillet, using a crumpet ring if desired, and cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 5 minutes).
- Flip the crumpets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from heat and serve warm, slathered with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
