Sour Dough Crumpets.

Thanks girls, I was very pleased once I got it all right 

[EmeraldSue]

They do look nice Judy

Judy,  they look good.  Once you get the method right you can use up that starter and not throw it away.   They freeze very well.  Daughter came in from Skiing and I was cooking her some to take home but she kept eating them.! 

[judydawn]

She would have been starving after going skiing Chookie so that was quite understandable.  I'll have to make a batch for Mum, she will think I'm a very clever chook(ie)

Judy,  the smaller ones would be handy.  Just a handy little morning tea.

Judy you must try the raisin and walnut version. Soooooo lovely.

[judydawn]

I will cookie. These would be so much easier than making raisin bread to toast for breakfast.

I so rarely eat morning tea Chookie, breakfast lasts me until lunch time.

Judy,  I just have to have my cup of coffee at 11am.  On  5 day I may have a little something with it.  On a 2 day,  skinny coffee and no nibble.

Made Wholemeal and sesame large SD crumpets.   Froze them so didn't try them straight away.  Split them in half and toasted.  Beautiful. 
To 1 cup of wholemeal starter, add 1/2 teaspoon carb soda and 2 teaspoons of Sesame seeds and sprinkle a few on the top while cooking.

To make Wholemeal starter, just remove 1/2 cup  of white starter into a jar and feed it with wholemeal flour and filtered water until you have enough.

Thanks Chookie, I'd like to make some wholemeal crumpets. 

[EmeraldSue]

Chookie, I've been given some Herman friendship cake batter. Do you think I could make crumpets with this?

[achookwoman]

ES,  I'd give it a go.

[EmeraldSue]

Thanks, I'll give it a try when I've fed it up

[EmeraldSue]

These were so easy. I now need to buy some crumpet rings - I used a set of scone cutters and made them in different sizes as that's all I had. I on,y made half a batch as I didn't have the proper rings, and only made 4. I had 2 of them for breakfast with some bantam eggs, and the kids had one each. I was so proud of my breakfast that I showed DH, and he took a bite before I could take a photo. He was impressed with how light and fluffy they were. I'm so glad I finally got around to making them.

They look perfect.
