     Title: Crumpets
Categories: Breads
     Yield: 6 Crumpets

   150 g  A-P flour (1 c)
   200 ml Water (3/4 c +1 tb); warm
          - 115 F/46 C
   1/2 ts Kosher salt -OR-
   1/4 ts Table salt
   1/2 ts White sugar
     1 ts Baking powder
     1 ts Active dry yeast;
          - mixed with:
     1 tb Water; warm (115 F/46 C)
     2 tb Unsalted butter; melted -OR-
     2 tb Vegetable oil; to cook

 Crumpet Batter:

 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 tb warm water in a small bowl.

 Add Yeast Mixture, sugar, and baking powder into bowl, then whisk
 for 30 seconds (or 15 seconds 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 to 15%.

 Cooking Crumpets:

 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 (65 ml), about 1 cm / 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.
