milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining moisture.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

sourdough starter

🥗Healthier: store-bought sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: none

Store-bought starter is convenient but may lack depth.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a unique flavor.

Mix sourdough starter, flour, and water in a bowl until combined.

Cover the bowl with a cloth and let it rest for 1-2 hours until bubbly.

In a separate bowl, combine milk, baking soda, salt, sugar, and vinegar.

Add the milk mixture to the rested dough and mix until smooth.

Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with butter.

Pour batter into round molds on the griddle, filling halfway.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 5-7 minutes.

Carefully remove the molds and flip the crumpets.

Cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Transfer crumpets to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
