Hi Thermomixer!
Can you explain me what egg rings are??

Well I made these last night! They were delicious! I made them in my electric waffle maker, beautifully! easy no mess, no washing up! I didn't change or add any extra liquid, except  I ran out of flour (minus 25g flour) so I used 25g wholemeal, and they were amaaazing! Makes me want to experiment in making Irish potato bread, instead of flour, adding potatoes, can anyone suggest anything?

Here is a picture.  Sometimes they have handles to make them easier to use.  Can be metal or silicon.
This picture is of their traditional use, to create a nice shape when frying eggs.

Thanks CB - the egg rings are usually round (but I found some heart-shaped ones) and they mainly are to hold eggs that are being fried for things like hamburgers(think McDonalds).  But useful for crumpets and some pancake batters too.

Good
I have it but in silicone!
Maybe for this type of mass assumes no very strong!!

Can we eat this with sweet or salt??

[Thermomixer]

Definitely - we have them with butter and honey sometimes or savoury toppings like bacon and eggs.  Vegemite ( a yeast extract like Marmite), jam, just butter are all regulars on our crumpets.

I had another go at these today... on Miss H's urging (ok she started them and forgot to finish them off... )... Delish!!

I tried these this morning for the kids.  I did have the batter too thick to start with and it wouldn't cook through, however, adding a bit of water to the batter made a huge difference.  The kids tell me that they taste better than the shop ones!  I have frozen the leftovers and will see how they go.

I can't believe it took me so long to try this recipe.  They are just wonderful!!!  I tweaked the recipe a little as I wanted to use milled and soaked whole grains and they turned out really well. 

Thanks for this great recipe Thermomixer!

I only thought the same thing the other week Chelsea.  Seeing them at the supermarket reminded me that I have been wanting to make these since last winter - maybe I will get around to it this winter.   Yours look great.

Chelsea,  these crumpets look terrific.  You have inspired me to make some.  Thanks to both you and Thermmixer.

Thanks for bumping this one ladies... need to make them again!

They are fantastic.  I can't wait to have the left-overs from our lunch toasted in the morning.

I used a mix of organic stoneground flour with organic rye and some lupin flour.... still turned out beautifully and fluffy...
