6

You will need

300ml whole milk
7g fast acting yeast
10g golden caster sugar
250g plain flour
Pinch of salt
1 tsp cider vinegar
Vegetable oil
Non-stick crumpet/egg rings

Method

1)

Warm the milk and sugar to hand temperature, pour into a large bowl or jug, sprinkle over the yeast and add the flour, mixing to a thick batter. Cover and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes.

2)

After 30 minutes, dissolve the salt in 75ml of warm water and add the cider vinegar, whisk this into the batter, mixing well, cover and rest for a further 30 minutes.

3)

Heat a heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat, grease the pan with vegetable oil, wiping any excess with kitchen roll, use this to grease some non-stick rings and place them in the pan.

4)

Pour in batter up to two thirds of the depth of the ring and cook for 8-10 minutes, keeping a close eye on the heat to ensure the bases do not brown too quickly.
