Yummy Crumpets

[achookwoman]

Fab, recipe.  Made 3 maxi crumpets in a 23 cm. crepe pan.   Each cut in to 4.  Best to cook top under grill to preserve the bubbles.

Thanks all - these were amongst the first of the things I tried to make for publication.  Just love them - they are soooo easy.

I made these this morning, thank you for the recipe, Thermomixer.

They were very yummy, and didn't need pricking with a skewer to make more holes, very fluffy and bubbly.

I found the best ones were those cooked medium - low with a fair bit of oil.

Ours made enough for 3, and I'd think it would actually serve 4-5.

Good to hear - they are fun and delicious.

Thanks for this recipe - they turned out great.  I never would have thought to make crumpets before reading your recipe

Welcome to the forum bigTcup - glad you enjoyed these. My family love them too and like you I would never have thought to make them either before this post

Welcome and thanks bigTcup.  It was one of the first recipes that I made because I thought that it would be great to make with the TMX able to heat to 37 degrees.  We love them still and I am glad others enjoy them too

Made these again a couple of days ago.  Fab recipe,  but being a messy person I have finally worked out how to get the batter into the rings without dropping it all over the stove.   I bought a plastic bottle (for filling cup cakes).  Both ends come off and one has a spout.   It takes nearly all the batter.  You place the rings in the pan,  tip the container up and squeeze and it flows into the ring.  You can control how much you put in.  Bought it from a kitchen shop in Adelaide,  $20.

Good thinking Chookie - it does get a bit messy

Thought I might have a go at making these! I have got egg rings but thinking the batter could stick if not oiled enough, was wondering If anyone has tried with a pancake maker? We were given this for Christmas last year and it makes two pancakes at a time, probably about the same size as a crumpet. I'll report back how I go. Don't expect a photo because I wouldn't have a clue how to do that !!!

Hi
I am going to try make crumpets tomorrow morning, do you think bread/pizza 00 flour would   be ok to use this type of flour. We buy in bulk so it would be great if ok to use

thank you
ciao

fundj,  I used bread flour.   Good result.  Also had a go at making some in small pancake pan with moderate success.   On the stove not an electric one.

Ok so I've just made these. You would have to be organised if you did them for breakfast. Got pretty good review from hubby and the boys. I used my electric pancake maker. They tasted really yummy, but I think next time I will try the egg ring in the frypan, then do as Chookie says and put the bubbly side under the grill. It made 9 crumpets so have 3 left for each of the boys to have one for breakfast. I'm not sure how thick the batter should be, but mine was very gluey and quite hard to make small ones. I might add a bit more liquid next time too.

These look so yummy I got up early so they are ready for breakfast. Proving now. Can't wait. Will let you know what everyone thinks.

OK. These were soooo delicious. At first too thick, maybe because I used some wholemeal. Once I watered them down a little they were perfect. 2 thumbs up from everyone. Next time we have friends over for breakfast we're going to make them on the BBQ. Has anyone tried this before?
