I
learned to make these on a farm in Africa. We would make the
batter and fry the crumpets while water was heating for tea. Serve with strawberry jam and cream.
Crumpets
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1
tablespoon wheat germ
3/4
teaspoon baking powder
1/2
teaspoon baking soda
1/4
teaspoon salt
1
large egg
1/2
cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2
cup fat-free milk
2
tablespoons butter, melted
1
tablespoon Lyle's Golden Syrup
1. In a
large bowl, use a whisk to stir the flour, wheat germ,
baking
powder, soda and salt.
2. In a small bowl,
whisk egg, buttermilk, milk, butter and
syrup.
Whisk into flour mixture. You may want to add two
more
tablespoons flour if batter is not thick enough.
3. Heat a 13-inch
griddle over medium heat until a drop of
water
sizzles and disappears in a few seconds. Melt a little
butter
and fry tablespoonfuls of batter. Turn when lots of
bubbles
appear. Both sides should be golden.
Makes 15 to 20 crumpets
