For extra flavor, try using bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. If you don't have crumpet rings, you can use cookie cutters or even metal tuna cans with the bottoms removed. Ensure they are well-greased! The batter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a gentle stir before using. Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, clotted cream, or your favorite savory toppings.

Follow The Directions
01
StepDissolve yeast and sugar in 1 cup of warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
02
StepMeanwhile, mix flour, milk powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle. Add the yeast mixture and remaining 1 3/4 cups warm water. Mix well with a wooden spoon until dough is the consistency of cake or waffle batter. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm spot until bubbly, about 1 hour.
03
StepCombine 2 tablespoons water and baking soda in a small bowl. Mix into the batter. Let stand for 15 minutes.
04
StepHeat a cast iron griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the griddle and inside of the crumpet rings with cooking spray. Arrange the rings on the griddle.
05
StepFill crumpet rings 2/3 of the way with batter. Cook until tops are covered in bubbles and starting to look dry, 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully lift up crumpet rings, flip the crumpets, and cook until second side is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn heat down if crumpet is overly dark or still raw in the middle.

May 21, 2025I had trouble finding dry milk powder, so I used regular milk instead (slightly reducing the water). They still turned out great!

May 17, 2025Make sure your yeast is fresh! Otherwise, they won't rise properly.
