For best results, use a thermometer to ensure your water and milk are within the specified temperature range. If you don't have crumpet molds, you can use metal cookie cutters or even rinsed-out tuna cans with both ends cut off. Cooked crumpets can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving. Try adding a pinch of baking soda to the batter for extra fluffiness. Experiment with different toppings such as honey, maple syrup, Nutella, or savory spreads like cream cheese and smoked salmon.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. (2 minutes)
02
StepIn a separate bowl, combine warm water and warm milk. (1 minute)
03
StepQuickly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until the batter is thick and smooth. (3 minutes)
04
StepCover the bowl with a towel and let it rise in a warm place until spongy, about 1 hour. (60 minutes)
05
StepAfter rising, stir the dough to reduce sponginess. (1 minute)
06
StepPlace a rack into the oven and preheat to 150 degrees F (65 degrees C). (5 minutes)
07
StepSpray a skillet and round metal open-top cookie cutters or crumpet molds with cooking spray. (1 minute)
08
StepHeat the skillet over medium-low heat, place the metal cutters or molds into the skillet, and let the molds heat up. (2 minutes)
09
StepSpoon the batter into the molds, filling them about halfway. (3 minutes)
10
StepLet the crumpets cook until the bottoms are browned, the tops appear nearly dry, and popped bubbles appear on top, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
11
StepUse tongs to lift the molds out of the pan; remove the molds from the crumpets. (2 minutes)
12
StepFlip and return the crumpets to the skillet to cook the other sides until browned, 1 to 2 more minutes. (2 minutes)
13
StepRepeat with the remaining dough. Keep the cooked crumpets warm on the rack in the preheated oven while you cook the remaining crumpets. (Time varies based on remaining dough)
