Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 300g | Gluten-free flour |
| 4 | Dry yeast or 20-40g compressed yeast |
| 330ml | Tepid water |
Instructions:
-
Sift Flour: Begin by sifting the gluten-free flour into a large mixing bowl. This step ensures a smooth texture for your crumpets.
-
Prepare Yeast Mixture: In a separate container, dissolve the dry yeast or compressed yeast in tepid water. You can also add a touch of apple for a subtle flavor enhancement.
-
Combine Ingredients: Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl of sifted flour. Stir well to combine, ensuring there are no lumps in the batter. Consistency is key for fluffy crumpets!
-
Achieve Smooth Consistency: Use a whisk or spatula to beat the mixture until it reaches a smooth and homogenous consistency. This step ensures even cooking and texture in your crumpets.
-
Prepare Egg Rings: Lightly brush metal egg rings with oil to prevent sticking during the cooking process. These rings help shape the crumpets perfectly.
-
Heat Rings and Pan: Place the oiled egg rings in a frying pan and heat over low heat. Properly preheating the rings ensures uniform cooking and prevents the batter from spreading too thin.
-
Fill Egg Rings: Fill each egg ring about three-quarters full with the crumpet batter. Leave some room for expansion as the crumpets cook.
-
Cook Crumpets: Cook the crumpets over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until surface holes start to appear. This is a crucial step for achieving the classic crumpet texture.
-
Cover and Finish Cooking: Cover the frying pan with a lid and continue cooking the crumpets for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. This helps ensure thorough cooking and fluffy interiors.
-
Cool and Repeat: Once cooked, carefully remove the crumpets from the pan and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter until all crumpets are cooked to perfection.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Toast the crumpets until golden brown and crispy on the edges. Top them with your favorite spreads, such as butter, jam, honey, or even savory options like avocado or smoked salmon. Get creative with your toppings and savor every delicious bite!

- Keep an eye on the heat while cooking the crumpets to prevent them from burning.
- Experiment with different gluten-free flour blends to find the perfect texture and flavor for your crumpets.
- Don’t overcrowd the frying pan; cook the crumpets in batches for best results.
- Store any leftover crumpets in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze them for longer shelf life.
