Ingredients
- 150 g Bread Flour (if you don't have this you can use Plain/all purpose flour.
- 200 g Warm water weighing the water is far more accurate than using a measuring jug.

DISCLAIMER
I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.

Things you'll need
- Food mixer
- Heavy baseFrying pan or Griddle (non-stick if you have one) heat to about 190ºC
- Metal rings. These do not have to be special crumpet rings, I use pastry cutters¡cookie cutters. You can even use different shapes if you wish, I sometimes use hearts, etc, for parties.
IMPORTANT Butter the inside of the rings well and the base of the pan very lightly.
Remove the rings after about 3 mins. leave crumpets in pan until the top is no longer wet, this should take about another 5 - 6 minutes. Then flip over for a few seconds to make sure the top is dry.
Toast them for breakfast or afternoon tea, with butter and jam, or scrambled/poached eggs.
