Spread a little bit of oil onto the frying pan and scoop the crumpet batter into it.Try to keep the crumpets small to prevent them from falling apart or spreading too much.
Fry one side until you start seeing bubbles in the middle of them.Flip and keep frying for a minute or two. Enjoy!
Notes
Serving suggestions
Jams! If you are into homemade jams, check out my jam with elderberries, apple & plum jam, and pure plum jam without any pectin!Condensed milk. Oh, what an indulgent crumpet breakfast it would be!Peanut butter & jam.StorageKeep the crumpets in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months! I find that freezing will alter the texture of the crumpets, so I would recommend eating them fresh if at all possible!
Expert tips
Make these every week, so that your discard is not piling up in the fridge. It might get moldy before you know it!
Use a cast iron pan if you own one. It heats up so well and bakes the crumpets through better than a non-stick pan!
