This morning I woke up surprisingly hungry! I made some orange juice, tea, a bowl of fruit....and something more interesting and yummie...crumpets. The only annoying thing about them is that you have to wait for the yeast to do it's work, but it's worth it!
I took the recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks; 'The cooks book' by Jill Norman.
You'll need for about 6-7 crumpets:
- 125 gr of plain flour
- 15 gr of sugar
- 7 gr of fresh yeast
- 3 gr of salt
- 50 gr of warm water
- 100 gr of warm milk
Stir the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, water and milk to a smooth batter. Leave this on a warm place for about 45 minutes to let the yeast make the bubbles. Heat a flying pan until fairly hot and poor the batter in small amounts in the pan with about a diameter of 10 cm. Wait until the wholes appear in the batter and it looks almost dry, then flip them and bake for another minute until golden-brown.
Poor a good amount of golden syrup/strawberry jam/butter and honey/marmalade/or whatever is your favorite breakfast sweet, on top of the hot pancakes and eat SUBITO! (right away in Italian)
