Craving the delightful taste of crumpets but need a gluten-free option? This recipe for Gluten-free Crumpets is perfect for you! It strikes a balance between airy lightness and a deliciously chewy texture, making for a perfect breakfast or snack. With just a handful of ingredients and a simple process, you can enjoy these homemade crumpets any time.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast and sugar.
- Gently warm the milk until lukewarm (about 100°F or 38°C); do not overheat.
- Pour the lukewarm milk over the yeast and sugar mixture. Stir gently to dissolve the yeast and sugar.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
- In a separate bowl, sift the all-purpose gluten-free flour to remove any lumps and ensure a fine texture.
- Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add the olive oil to the same bowl.
- Slowly add the sifted gluten-free flour to the yeast mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Let the batter rest in a warm place for about 1 hour. The batter should rise and become bubbly.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil or non-stick spray.
- Grease crumpet rings (or metal cookie cutters) and place them on the preheated skillet.
- Pour or spoon the batter into each ring until it fills about halfway up the sides.
- Cook the crumpets for about 5-7 minutes on one side. Bubbles will form on the surface and then begin to pop, leaving small holes.
- Once the surface looks mostly set and the bottom is golden brown, carefully remove the rings (use tongs, as they will be hot).
- Flip the crumpets and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Remove the crumpets from the skillet and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as butter, jam, honey, or a savory option like cheese.
Tips:
- Ensure your yeast is fresh; expired yeast may not rise properly.
- For an even texture, whisk the batter well to incorporate air.
- Pre-grease your crumpet rings to prevent sticking.
- If you don’t have crumpet rings, you can use Mason jar lids as a substitute.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep it light and airy.
- Cool crumpets on a wire rack to prevent them from becoming soggy.
