Giant golden syrup crumpets are a delightful treat perfect for breakfast or tea-time. These crumpets are soft, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these homemade crumpets fresh off the griddle. Let's dive into the recipe!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pour 1 cup of milk into a small saucepan.
- Heat the milk over low-medium heat until it is just warm to the touch (not boiling). This helps activate the yeast.
- Add the 1 tsp of yeast to the warmed milk.
- Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour and a dash of salt.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
- Pour the yeast and milk mixture into the well.
- Gradually add 1 cup of water while stirring to form a smooth batter. The consistency should be something like thick pancake batter.
- Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place for about 1 hour. The batter should rise and become bubbly.
- After the batter has risen, dissolve 1 tsp of baking soda in a small amount of water (about 1-2 tbsp).
- Add this mixture to the batter and stir well to combine.
- Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
- Melt 2 tbsp of butter and use it to lightly grease the crumpet rings or cookie cutters and the cooking surface.
- Place the greased crumpet rings or cookie cutters onto the hot griddle or skillet.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into each ring, filling about halfway up.
- Cook until the top is full of bubbles and the bottom is golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
- Carefully remove the rings and flip the crumpets to cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
- Remove the crumpets from the griddle and let them cool slightly on a rack.
- Serve warm with butter and golden syrup or your favorite toppings.
Tips:
- Make sure the milk is warm but not too hot when activating the yeast; this helps the yeast to ferment properly.
- Resting the batter for about an hour ensures the crumpets will have the right texture and airy holes.
- Use a non-stick griddle or a well-seasoned cast iron pan to prevent sticking.
- If you don’t have crumpet rings, you can use cleaned tuna cans with both ends removed or any similar-sized round mold.
- Cook on low heat to avoid burning the bottoms while ensuring the crumpets cook through.
And there you have it! These giant golden syrup crumpets are sure to become a favorite in your household. With their soft and fluffy texture and the sweet hint of golden syrup, they're a perfect treat for any time of the day. Enjoy them warm, straight from the griddle, with a dollop of butter or a drizzle of extra syrup. Happy cooking!
