One of our favourite treats to share at Christmas time is the Sourdough Crumpet. As demonstrated at the 2021 Countryfile Live Merry Baking tent; this recipe pairs beautifully with our Beetroot Cured Salmon and Pickled Cucumber recipes as a topping.
Serves
3-4
Ingredients
200g white sourdough starter
3g sea salt
10g caster sugar
3g bicarbonate of soda
Oil or butter for greasing the crumpet rings
Method
Mix the starter, sugar and salt together in a bowl.
Meanwhile preheat a frying pan on a medium heat and grease the crumpet rings ready.
Lastly, add the bicarbonate of soda and mix well.
Drop a little butter into the bottom of the rings in the pan.
As soon as you can, divide the mixture between the crumpet rings. Fill the rings halfway, no more, as they will expand as they cook.
As soon as the mixture has set around the top, remove the rings and then flip over to toast on the other side.
