Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk until you have a smooth, thick batter.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp butter. Once melted and sizzling, pour 1/4 cup batter per crumpet, spacing them apart.

  3. Step 3

    Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

  4. Step 4

    Serve warm with the remaining 1 tbsp butter, letting it melt into the crumpets.
