My Cooking Experience 👩‍🍳

With 4-5 years of cooking experience, I’ve perfected the art of making Sourdough Crumpets that have a golden, crispy exterior and a soft, airy center. The fermentation process enhances the flavor, making these crumpets extra special!

Ingredients 🛒

1 cup sourdough starter (active & bubbly)
½ cup warm water
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp sugar
Butter or oil (for cooking)

Instructions 🍽️

1. Prepare the Batter 🥄

In a bowl, mix the sourdough starter, warm water, and flour. Stir until well combined. Cover and let it ferment at room temperature for about 8 hours or overnight.

2. Add Final Ingredients 🔥

After fermentation, mix in salt, baking soda, and sugar. The batter will become bubbly—this is what gives the crumpets their signature texture!

3. Cook the Crumpets 🍳

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it lightly with butter or oil. Place crumpet rings in the pan and pour batter into each ring until about ½-inch thick. Cook for 5-7 minutes until bubbles form on top.

4. Flip & Serve ✨

Once bubbles appear and the top looks set, remove the rings and flip the crumpets. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam!

Variations 🔄

Sweet Crumpets: Stir in a teaspoon of cinnamon and a bit more sugar for a sweeter treat.
