Hands down one of the best snacks ever invented. God bless British cooking for this one. These crumpets are soft, bubbly, and perfect for any topping. The batter gets bubbly after resting, and cooking them in molds gives them their signature shape. Serve warm with salted butter, peanut butter, jam, or any topping of choice. For an extra crisp texture, freeze them and toast before serving.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Mix the sugar, yeast, and warm water, then set aside for 10 minutes until foamy.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add the milk and the activated yeast/water mixture to the dry ingredients, then whisk for 5 minutes until smooth.

Cover the bowl with a plate and let the batter rest in a warm place for 45 minutes until bubbly.
Heat a non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet until hot, then reduce the heat to low.
Butter your shaped molds and pour the batter into the molds.

Cook until the top starts to dry, and help the bubbles pop with a sharp object like a toothpick.

Serve warm with salted butter, peanut butter, jam, or any topping of choice.
