Crumpets

Apparently, the below is Warburton's crumpet recipe... something fun for me to try out (just need to find a biscuit cutter): https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/warburtons-shares-secret-famous-crumpet-18248844 Ingredients: Bakes six 150g plain white flour 200ml water ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon dried yeast Method: Add flour, water and salt to a mixing bowl Mix vigorously with a whisk until your arm aches (at least five minutes) to create your crumpet batter Mix a few milliliters of water into your dried yeast Add sugar, baking powder and yeast mixture to bowl and mix for another 30 seconds until you have a clear batter Cover the mixing bowl and put it into a warm place for 15 minutes - top tip: make sure your mixing bowl is bigger than you need as it will expand. Place a greased metal biscuit cutter into the middle of a non-stick frying pan Preheat your frying pan on a hob on a medium-high setting Before you start, give your batter a stir to remove any large air bubbles Use a ladle to drop approximately 60g of batter into the cutter inside the pan Wait for approximately four minutes - then carefully lift the ring off the crumpet Remove the baked crumpet from pan - if the top looks a bit gooey, flip it over in the pan for a few seconds Repeat to make the rest of the crumpets Toast and enjoy with butter
