Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 ½ cups warm milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
Optional Add-ins:
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Make the batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well and make a well in the center. Pour the warm milk and melted butter into the well and stir until a smooth batter forms. If adding any optional ingredients, fold them into the batter now.
Step 2: Let it rise
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise for about an hour in a warm place. The batter should double in size.
Step 3: Cook the crumpets
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Using a measuring cup or ladle, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each crumpet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Step 4: Serve and enjoy
Once all the crumpets are cooked, serve them warm with your favorite toppings. Some traditional toppings include butter, jam, and honey. For a festive twist, try topping with cream cheese and cranberry sauce or chocolate hazelnut spread and crushed candy canes.
