How to Make
-
Step 1: Grease inside of 6 crumpets rings. In a bowl or jug, with a spout, mix together water, milk & sugar. Heat in microwave to scald milk & then cool to lukewarm Sprinkle the yeast over the lukewarm liquid & let sit for about 5 mins until yeast has softened then stir.

Step 6: Fill the rings at least 1/2 full with batter, dividing the batter between the 6 rings. Cook until bubbles form on the tops & start to pop & the bottoms are golden. The crumpets will pull away from the sides of the rings slightly. Using tongs, lift the rings off the crumpets & flip them over. Cook for about 2 mins until lightly golden.
