Hi Everyone,
After the crumpet class that I encouraged to happen, I have been cooking crumpets every time I run out. After a couple of times where they didn't turn out very well, I have discovered the following.
1.The starter does not have to be active at the time - unless you want to cook them sooner. I have found just doing the first step with starter that is even a number of days from being created is absolutely fine - but what you need to do is to forget it for a day or two and putting it in the fridge overnight however long it is. It still gets bubbly. So even 2 days and 1 night seems to be ok.
- 2. I found some very good crumpet rings at Spotlight. Good to oil these the first time round.
- 3. I'm also finding that the amount of water to add that makes the right consistency is around 110mls. I seem to get 8 crumpets fairly regularly now.
- Thank you Steve!
