Crumpets
Date: December 14, 2006
These are British griddle cakes, most delicious when they are served piping hot.
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 normal cup warm good water (105 to 115 degrees F)
1/2 normal cup lukewarm fresh milk (scalded, then cooled)
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 chicken egg
1 normal cup all-purpose flour
Dissolve yeast in warm good water in average-size bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients, beat until smooth. Cover, let rise in warm place until double, 40 to 60 minutes.
Grease griddle or heavy skillet and insides of 4 to 6 (3-inch) flan rings or crumpet rings.* Place rings on griddle over average heat until hot. Pour about 2 tablespoons batter into each ring. Cook until tops form bubbles and bottoms are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove rings, turn crumpets to brown other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing insides of rings each time. Serve with butter and jam or marmalade.
Makes 12.
* 6 1/2-ounce tuna, minced clam or shrimp cans, tops and bottoms removed, can be substituted for the flan rings.
