CRUMPETS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat the milk until lukewarm. Combine the milk, flour, water, butter, honey, yeast, baking powder and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook attachment, mix on high speed until completely blended and a soft dough has formed, 2 minutes. Remove the bowl, cover with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and put in a warm spot until risen and bubbly, about 1 hour.
• Lightly spray a cast-iron or nonstick skillet or griddle with nonstick spray and heat over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Spray the metal rings well with non-stick spray and place them in the pan or on the griddle. Fill each ring with a scant 1/4 cup of the batter.
• Cook until the crumpets are set and the bottoms are lightly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Carefully remove the rings, flip the crumpets and cook until completely cooked through and the bottoms are lightly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes longer. While they are cooking, wash and spray the rings with nonstick spray for the next batch.
• Butter the tops with the Whipped Butter and spread with the Orange-Blueberry Marmalade. Or split the crumpets and toast (like you would an English muffin), and spread with the Whipped Butter and Orange-Blueberry Marmalade.
• Combine the cream and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whip attachment, whip on high speed until the cream is light and fluffy and turns to butter. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the butter into a bowl and chill for 15 minutes before serving.
• Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest of the oranges and lemons. Cut the zest pieces into thin slices, then finely chop or grind and set aside.
• Peel the remaining white part of the peel from the fruit and discard. Chop the fruit pulp, reserving any juice and set aside.
• Place the zest and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the reserved fruit pulp and juice, cover and simmer on low heat for an additional 7 minutes. Add the blueberries and simmer for 3 more minutes.
• Stir the sugar into the fruit in the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil and cook exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the pectin. Remove from the heat and skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Serve at room temperature.

OLD FASHIONED HOME-MADE ENGLISH CRUMPETS FOR TEA-TIME

Steps:

• Note - you will need 4 crumpet rings, or egg rings or 7.5cm (3in) plain pastry cutters, greased.
• Place the flour and salt into a large bowl and stir in the sugar and yeast making a well in the centre. Pour in the warm milk and water and mix to give quite a thick batter. Beat well until completely combined and cover with a tea towel or cling film.
• Leave in a warm place to rise for about an hour until it's a light, spongy texture. Stir well to knock out any air, add the bicarbonate of soda and pour into a large jug - mix well and allow to stand for a further 30 minutes.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan, or a greased griddle, over a very low heat with a drop of oil or butter. Wipe the pan with kitchen paper to remove excess oil/butter. Sit the greased crumpet rings in the pan and leave to heat up for a couple of minutes.
• Pour in enough mixture to fill the rings just over halfway up the sides. Leave to cook until lots of small holes appear on the surface and the batter has just dried out. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
• Remove the rings and turn over the crumpets to cook for a further minute or two on the other side. Sit the first batch of crumpets on a wire rack whilst continuing to cook the remaining crumpets.
• Serve the crumpets warm, generously buttered. If you are making crumpets in advance, then reheat them by toasting lightly on both sides before serving. (Prep time includes rising time for the yeast dough.).

CRUMPETS

Steps:

• Have ready four 4-inch flan rings. Combine milk and 1 cup water in a small saucepan; heat to 110 degrees. Transfer mixture to a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast and the sugar on top, and stir with a fork. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, sift flour and salt. Slowly add some milk mixture while mixing on low speed. Slowly increase speed to medium-high while adding remaining liquid, until all flour is incorporated. Beat on medium-high until smooth, about 3 minutes.
• Tightly cover bowl with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm place until doubled in size and dough is bubbly, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Return dough to the mixer. Dissolve the baking soda in 1 tablespoon hot water, and add to the dough; mix until well combined. Cover, and set aside for 20 minutes.
• Lightly oil a griddle or large cast-iron skillet; place over medium heat for 5 minutes. Generously butter flan rings; place on heated griddle. Reduce heat to medium low. Pour 1/2 cup batter into rings; cook until bubbles rise to the surface and top is dry, about 10 minutes. Remove rings; turn crumpets over. Cook until slightly golden, about 8 minutes. Remove; cool on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter. When ready to serve, heat a broiler, and toast crumpets. Serve warm with generous amounts of butter, jam, or honey, if desired.

CRUMPETS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1 cup of warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, 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.
• Combine 2 tablespoons water and baking soda in a small bowl. Mix into the batter. Let stand for 15 minutes.
• Heat 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.
• Fill 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.

POACHED EGGS ON CRUMPET

Steps:

• sired doneness while the crumpets are toasting.
• Poach eggs to disired doneness.
• toast crumpets.
• spread crumpets with butter and top with eggs.
• place strawberries or tomatoes on the side.

PEACH CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the peach filling: Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and fill a large bowl with lots of ice and cold water. Cut a small "X" into the base of each peach with a paring knife. Gently lower the peaches into the boiling water with a slotted spoon or tongs, then cook until the skin starts to peel away from the flesh, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer immediately to the ice-water bath. Once cool enough to handle, peel the peaches and discard the skin. Remove the pit and cut flesh into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Transfer to another large bowl, then toss in the brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and salt. Transfer to a 2-quart oval baking dish (see Cook's Note).
• For the crumble topping: Whisk the flour, pecans, brown sugar, ginger and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the butter, then stir until the flour mixture is completely moistened and forms lots of clumps.
• Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the filling. Bake until the filling is bubbling at the edges and the topping is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let sit 15 minutes before serving each portion with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

CRUMPET RECIPE

Steps:

• Place flour, water and salt in a bowl and whisk for 2 minutes (electric beater 1 minute on speed 5).
• Yeast Mixture - Dissolve Yeast into 1 tbsp warm water in a small bowl.
• Add Yeast Mixture, sugar and baking powder into bowl, then whisk for 30 seconds (or 15 sec speed 5).
• Cover with cling wrap or plate, then place in a very warm place for 15 to 30 minutes until the surface gets nice and foamy. It will only increase in volume by ~10 - 15%.
• Grease 2 or 3 rings with butter (approx 9 cm / 3.5" wide, though any ring or metal shaper will do, Note 3) (TIP: Non stick rings - brush with melted butter. Everything else - smear with butter)
• Brush non stick skillet lightly with melted butter then place rings in the skillet.
• Turn stove on medium high (medium for strong stoves) and bring to heat (Note 4 for "sizzle test").
• Pour 1/4 cup batter into the rings (65ml), about 1cm / 2/5" deep (will rise ~60%).
• Cook for 1 1/2 minutes - bubbles should start appearing on the surface (but not popping yet).
• Turn heat down to medium, cook for 1 minute - some bubbles should pop around the edges.
• Turn heat down to medium low, cook for a further 2 1/2 to 4 minutes, until the surface is "set" and it's clear there will be no more bubbles popping! (At this stage you can help the final bubbles pop with a skewer!)
• Remove rings (you might need to run knife around to loosen).
• Then flip and cook the other side for 20 to 30 seconds for a blush of colour.
• Transfer to write rack (golden side down) and fully cool.
• Can be eaten once cool, but it's even better the next day (Note 5).
• Toast in a toaster until the base is crispy.
• Slather generously with butter, then spread of choice (honey is perfection) and devour immediately!

ENGLISH CRUMPETS

Steps:

• Whisk 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Combine water and milk in a separate bowl and quickly whisk the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until batter is thick and smooth. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until spongy, about 1 hour. Stir dough to reduce sponginess.
• Place a rack into the oven and preheat to 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).
• Spray a skillet and round metal open-top cookie cutters or crumpet molds with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-low heat, place the metal cutters or molds into the skillet, and let the molds heat up. Spoon batter into the molds, filling them about halfway. Let the crumpets cook until the bottoms are browned, the tops appear nearly dry, and popped bubbles appear on top, about 5 minutes.
• Use tongs to lift molds out of the pan; remove molds from the crumpets. Flip and return crumpets to skillet to cook the other sides until browned, 1 to 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Keep cooked crumpets warm on rack in the preheated oven while you cook remaining crumpets.

EGGY CHEESE CRUMPETS

Steps:

• Heat the grill. Beat the eggs and milk together in a wide dish. Submerge the crumpets in the egg mixture, turning them once, then set aside for a few minutes.
• Arrange the tomatoes cut-side up on a baking tray and grill for a few minutes, then cover the tray with foil to keep the tomatoes warm.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the crumpets for a few minutes on each side until the egg has set - you may have to do this in batches. Transfer them to a baking tray as you go. Once all the crumpets are cooked, top with the cheese and grill for 1-2 mins until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Serve with the tomatoes and avocado slices.
