Hey, Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where I share my passion for cooking and baking. Today let’s talk about Crumpet Recipe through Beyond the Bayou Blog. I’m just a regular home cook like you, navigating my way through the kitchen one recipe at a time. I tried Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes and Dutch Baby Pancake.

One day, as we flipped through her old recipe book, we stumbled upon her secret recipe. I remember the warmth of the kitchen, the smell of butter melting on the griddle, and the joy of biting into those fluffy, golden crumpets.
Since then, this dish have held a special place in my heart, reminding me of those precious moments with my grandma. So, join me on this journey as we recreate those cherished memories and make some new ones along the way. Let’s dive into the wonderful world of crumpets together.
Crumpet Recipe
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk or Spoon
- Griddle or skillet
- Crumpet Rings (optional)
- Spatula
- Oven Mitts or Kitchen Towels
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 2 ¾ cups warm water divided
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons dry milk powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Prepare Batter: Mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, baking soda) in a bowl. In another bowl, mix warm water and yeast until foamy. Combine wet and dry ingredients to make a smooth batter. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a greased griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grease crumpet rings and place them on the griddle.
- Cook Crumpets: Pour batter into each ring, about ¼ cup per crumpet. Cook for 5-6 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip and Cook: Carefully flip the crumpets using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove crumpets from the skillet and let them cool slightly on a cooling rack. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your desired toppings.
Notes
- If you don’t have dry milk, substitute 1/2 cup regular milk for 1/2 cup of the water in the recipe.
- If you prefer thicker or thinner crumpets, adjust the amount of batter you pour into the rings accordingly.
Nutrition
Time for the Tips!
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure your yeast is not expired and your flour is fresh for the best results.
- Consistency of Batter: Aim for a thick, smooth batter consistency similar to pancake batter. Adjust with more flour or water if needed.
- Proper Greasing: Grease your griddle or skillet well to prevent them from sticking.
- Even Heating: Maintain a consistent medium heat to cook them evenly without burning.
- Grease Rings: Grease the rings well to prevent sticking. If using metal cookie cutters or cans, grease those too.
- Pouring Batter: Pour the batter into the rings slowly and evenly to achieve uniform crumpets.
- Wait for Bubbles: Wait until bubbles form on the surface before flipping. This ensures they’re cooked enough to hold their shape.
- Don’t Rush: Cook it on medium heat for the perfect texture. Rushing may result in unevenly cooked or doughy crumpets.
