Crumpets

Crumpets are a traditional British tea-time treat. They are soft, fluffy, and perfect for spreading with butter and jam.

Ingredients - Serves 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and water until warm but not boiling.
Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
Using a ladle or large spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the hot griddle, forming round crumpets.
Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set.
Flip the crumpets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the griddle and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the crumpets warm with butter and jam.
