Fluffy Crumpets Ingredients:

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• vegetable oil as needed
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 400 ml milk

Method:

1. In a medium sized bowl, add the flour.
2. 
3. Thereafter, add in the salt.
4. 
5. Add in the baking powder.
6. 
7. 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.
8. 
9. Mix well.
10. 
11. Scoop the butter into a microwavable safe bowl.
12. 
13. Microwave butter for about 30 seconds until melted. Remove from the microwave & allow to cool a bit.
14. 
15. In another bowl, crack in the egg.
16. 
17.  When the melted butter has cooled, pour the butter into the egg & beat together using a fork.
18. 
19. Next, pour in the egg & butter mixture to the flour mixture.
20. 
21. Thereafter, pour in the milk.
22. 
23. Mix well combining all the ingredients to form a batter.
24. 
25. 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.
26. 
27. Heat ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil in a small pan.
28. 
29. When the oil is hot enough, spoon 3 tablespoons of batter into the oil & smooth it out with the back of the spoon.
30. 
31. Allow to cook for a minute on medium to low heat & then carefully flip over.
32. Allow this side to also cook for a minute or so.
33. 
34. Remove from pan & plate. Check the first one if it is thoroughly cooked inside, if not then cook the rest for a bit longer.
35. 
36. Continue doing the same with the remaining batter & stack each crumpet over another.
37. 
38. Drizzle some maple or golden syrup over the Fluffy Crumpets if preferred.
