Method
1.Mix yeast and sugar into the water and set aside for 5 minutes, until frothy.
2.Combine flour with salt in a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
3.Pour in the yeast mixture along with buttermilk and mix into a thick batter.
4.Cover and set aside in a warm spot for 1½ hours.
5.Stir baking soda into the water, then mix into the batter. Cover and set aside for a further 30 minutes.
6.Heat a large frypan over a low-medium heat. Grease rings (egg rings are great for this) with butter and add a knob of butter to the pan. Place rings in the pan.
7.Add a ladle of batter to each ring and cook until the top surface is cooked and covered in bubbles, taking care not to burn the base. They will take around 5 minutes to cook.
8.Toast prior to serving.
Note
- The top of the crumpets may look undercooked but once toasted they will be perfect. – PER SERVE: Energy: 503kcal, 2112kj Protein: 11.1g Fat: 17.2g Saturated fat: 5.3g Cholesterol: 52.6mg Carbohydrate: 75.4g Fibre: 4.6g Sodium: 261mg
