- 1 cup cake wheat flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp melted butter or oil plus a little extra butter to grease the pan
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk
Sift all the dry ingredients and set aside. Beat the egg and combine it with the melted butter or oil and buttermilk/milk
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until it forms a smooth batter. I use a whisk to ensure there are no lumps. Add more milk if you feel the batter is too thick
Pour about a quarter cup of batter on a greased pan and cook. Once little bubbles form on the surface, flip it over and cook the other side
Serve with whipped cream and maple syrup
- You may need a little more milk for the batter. However, ensure that your batter is not too runny or it will be difficult to keep the shape
- You can make them egg free by replacing the egg with some lemon juice or vinegar. The texture may not be exactly the same but close enough
- The batter does thicken a little on standing so if it's too runny allow it to stand for 5 minutes
- You can use some buttermilk if you wish, however the milk works perfectly fine
- These crumpets are perfect with jam too
