Ingredients:
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons dried yeast
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
500ml warm water
150ml warm milk
½ teaspoon bicarb soda
Butter for greasing
Method:
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl, make a well in the centre and add water slowly, mixing well until a thick batter has formed.
Knead well until thick and smooth. Cover and leave in a warm spot for an hour to rise.
Add the bicarb soda to the warm milk. Stir milk mixture into the dough, beating well so there are no lumps. The batter should look like thick pancake mix.
Grease a frying pan and egg rings or crumpet rings and heat to a moderate temperature. Place 1 tablespoonful of mixture in each egg ring or 2 tablespoonfuls in each crumpet ring. Cook over moderate heat until bubbles rise, leave a little longer so the bubbles set slightly then turn crumpets and brown the tops.
After turning crumpets, remove the rings and re-grease. Then start the next batch cooking. This recipe makes about 45 egg ring or 20 crumpet ring-sized crumpets.
Toast to serve. These crumpets freeze well.
Note: You can buy special crumpet rings from cookware shops for around $3 each. A cheaper option is to use 425g tuna cans that have had both ends removed - just be careful, the edges are sharp.
