Mini Crumpets


Description

These Mini Crumpets are wonderfully light, fluffy and easy to make. The simple batter comes together in minutes using a handful of basic pantry ingredients and they cook up quickly into golden little crumpets with those signature holes that are perfect for soaking up butter, syrup or jam.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup yoghurt
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence

Plus:

  • Butter for frying
  • Syrup for serving


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl or jug, whisk the eggs, yoghurt, milk, sugar, vegetable oil and vanilla essence until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth and combined. The batter should be slightly thick. 
  4. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with a little butter.
  5. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter into the pan to form mini crumpets. Cook for 1 minute or so per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and then flip and cook the other side until golden.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
  7. Serve warm with butter and syrup. Keep crumpets warm in the oven at a low temp, around 90°C is good!

Notes

These mini crumpets can be kept warm in a low-temp oven while you cook the remaining crumpets in the batch.
