Fluffy Crumpets

In a medium sized bowl, add the flour.

Thereafter, add in the salt.

Add in the baking powder.

Next, add in the sugar – I prefer brown sugar as it gives the crumpets a lovely golden colour but you may use white sugar if desired.

Mix well.

Scoop the butter into a microwavable safe bowl.

Microwave butter for about 30 seconds until melted. Remove from the microwave & allow to cool a bit.

In another bowl, crack in the egg.

When the melted butter has cooled, pour the butter into the egg & beat together using a fork.

Next, pour in the egg & butter mixture to the flour mixture.

Thereafter, pour in the milk.

Mix well combining all the ingredients to form a batter.

The batter should not be too thick or too weak. Add more flour if the batter is too weak & add more milk if the batter is too thick.

Heat ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil in a small pan.

When the oil is hot enough, spoon 3 tablespoons of batter into the oil & smooth it out with the back of the spoon.

Allow this side to also cook for a minute or so.

Remove from pan & plate. Check the first one if it is thoroughly cooked inside, if not then cook the rest for a bit longer.

Continue doing the same with the remaining batter & stack each crumpet over another.

Drizzle some maple or golden syrup over the Fluffy Crumpets if preferred.

Serve these Fluffy Crumpets whilst hot with whatever toppings you desire.
