crumpet rings or shallow can with the top and bottom removed
Ingredients
1¾cupsstrong white bread flour
2(¼-ounce) sachetsfast-action dry yeast
½teaspoonsuperfine sugar
½teaspoonbaking soda
1¼cupswarm water
6tablespoonsvegetable or sunflower oilfor frying
Any crumpet topping of your choice
Instructions
In a large bowl, add the flour, yeast, sugar, baking soda, and water. Mix to combine, then cover and allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
Place a skillet over medium-low heat and brush it with oil.
Pour the oil for frying into a shallow bowl.
Dip your molds into the bowl and brush around them with oil, then place them in the pan.
Add enough batter to each mold to come about halfway up the sides (about ½ inch deep if using a can), being careful not to overfill them as the crumpets will rise a lot. Cook for 5 minutes, until the bubbles that appear on the top have burst. If you're using a can, carefully release the crumpet by running a knife around the inside edge of the can, being careful not to burn your hands as the metal will be hot.
Flip over the crumpets to cook the other sides for another minute.
Transfer the cooked crumpets to a board, sliding them out of the molds, if using.
Repeat as necessary until you have made 8 crumpets.
Notes
Store any leftover crumpets in a sealed container and toast before eating.
