Sourdough Crumpets

Cultural Context

Sourdough crumpets have their roots in British cuisine, traditionally enjoyed as a tea-time treat. They are characterized by their spongy texture and distinctive holes, perfect for holding butter or jam. In modern times, they have gained popularity in various brunch menus and artisanal bakeries, with many home bakers experimenting with sourdough starters for a unique flavor twist.

milk

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

sourdough starter

🥗Healthier: store-bought sourdough starter

1

In a bowl, mix up the ingredients until you have a thickish batter.

2

Grease the crumpet rings with olive oil and place them in a frying pan on a low heat.

3

Spoon in the batter so it’s 1/3 full in the rings.

4

Let them cook over 10-15 minutes until the trademark crumpet bubbles appear on the top.

5

When they’re starting to brown at the top edge and have cooked most of the way through, carefully remove the rings and flip them over to cook the other side for 2 minutes.

6

Let the crumpets rest for half an hour before serving.
