Sourdough Discard Crumpets
Five ingredients and five minutes are all you need to create these scrumptious sourdough starter discard crumpets.
Servings: 7 crumpets
Equipment
- Frying pan
- Crumpet rings
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough starter discard
- 1 cup bread flour plus extra as needed
- ¾ cup water
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- pinch salt
- extra virgin olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat your pan over medium heat with olive oil. Grease crumpet rings with oil or melted butter.
- Add all ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl and combine. If your starter seems too runny, add a little more flour as needed.
- Add your prepared crumpet rings to the pan and fill each with ⅓ cup batter.
- Continue to cook over medium heat until the top is covered in small bubbles, about 4-6 minutes.
- Remove the rings and flip crumpets over. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on this side until lightly golden brown. If the rings are too hot or difficult to handle, you can wait until the crumpets are cooling on a rack and remove then.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Add a handful of raisins (about ¼ cup) or stir in a dash of cinnamon. Craisins are another great option, and would pair nicely with some orange zest. Think blueberries, or maybe even some pumpkin spice! If you'd like a sweeter crumpet, try using a little honey
