Delicious homemade crumpets that are perfect for breakfast or tea time, with a fluffy interior and golden exterior.

Scale

150g (1 cup) white flour

200ml (3/4 cup + 1 tbsp) warm water

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp white sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp yeast

1 tbsp warm water

2 tbsp unsalted butter

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1 tablespoon of warm water and set it aside.
In a larger bowl, mix the white flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
Add the warm water and yeast mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until well combined.
Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the batter rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet and brush it with melted butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each crumpet and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Then flip and cook until golden brown.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Make sure the water is warm (not hot) to activate the yeast. You can top the crumpets with butter, jam, or honey.
