Homemade Crumpets

Makes 8

Don’t be intimidated by homemade crumpets, they are easier to make than they might seem!

• 480ml (16.2fl oz) soya milk, warm
• 1 tbsp dried active yeast
• 300g (10.5oz) strong bread flour
• 1 tsp caster sugar
• ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda

You will also need:

• 4 crumpet rings

1 Add the soya milk, yeast, bread flour, sugar and bicarbonate of soda to a bowl and whisk together until a smooth batter has formed. Leave the mixture covered for 30 minutes until it is bubbling.

To cook the crumpets, place four 10cm greased rings into a large frying pan over a medium heat and add 80ml batter to each ring. Cook for 7-9 minutes until the batter is cooked through and the crumpet has formed. Remove the ring from the crumpet
