These are so easy , and good to use up some Sour Dough Starter. I fed the starter in the morning, left it on the bench all day and went out. While out I bought some crumpet rings as I think the normal metal egg rings are too small. The rings I bought are 'd.line' egg and crumpet rings, non stick and about 9 cm diameter. They were $1.79 for a packet of 2. I bought 2 packets. These are much better than the large silicon rings as they cook the edges of the crumpets as the base is cooking.
The recipe I used is from an English site, King Arthur Flour.
Ingredients. For 4 crumpets. Mix and cook 4 at a time.
1 cup, 250 mls of sour dough starter
I teaspoon of sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon carb soda.
Method
Oil a large non stick flat based frying pan.
Oil rings and place in frying pan to heat. Place rings so that the rim is outside .
Pour sour dough starter into a 2 cup jug. It will bubble up when the carb soda is added.
Add sugar, salt and carb soda. Give it a good stir.
Pour immediately into rings. About a 1/4 cup into each.
Cook over moderate heat for 7 minutes. You will notice that edges are starting to set and slightly pull away from ring.
When top has just set, the rings can be lifted off.
Flip crumpets to cook top slightly. Remove and cool on cooling rack.
Continue with above method. No need to re oil rings, but do brush oil on pan between batches.
Notes.
These do not taste sour.
Some were thicker than others. The very thick ones, I split before toasting. The thinner ones were toasted without splitting
Variations.
200 mls of starter, made up to 250mls with grated cheese, zucchini , green onion tops and parsley, pepper. Made 5 suitable for toaster.
Going to add grated apple and berries, same proportion.
Can use SD straight from fridge
Can make up 2 cups of mixture, if you have plenty of SD starter.

Chookie, this is already printed off and ready to go! I'd do them tonight if I had the rings . . .a quick trip to the shops!! Thank you for posting this . . :-*
-
GF, much easier than using dried yeast. If my sums are correct, about 75 cents for 12 crumpets. Unreal!!
-
They look soooo good as well as being quick and easy.
-
Chookie, thanks these look great. Will take out my SD and give it a feed. ;D
-
Am adding a savoury variation to main recipe.
-
Verdict - very tasty ;D mine did stick to the crumpet rings, I did brush with macadamia oil, but it didn't help. Could be why I never use the rings.. They are wide 'non stick' ones with a folding type handle. Just reread your instructions Chookie, perhaps I was too impatient and turned early
I made 4 and with the remaining g mixture, added one finely chopped bacon rasher, 1/2 tomato, 2 small leaves of kale and some sweet chilli sauce and cooked as a savoury waffle. Lovely. Another SD keeper recipe.
-
Elle, I have used those rings without much luck. Mine were the silicon ones. Did you give the first side 7 minutes. .? The savoury ones sound nice. We had the cheese and zucchini ones with soup for lunch. Crisped up in toaster.
When cooked on the large metal rings, the rings lift off when the first side is cooked.
-
Hi Chookie, yes I set the timer for 7 mins. Taste was so good, but after studying your photos I am wondering if I will cook.a little longer on a lower heat. The non stick coating looks like it should work!
I did enjoy the waffle. It wasnt crisp, but the taste was good. Will try cooking a little longer for it as well. DH is at work, three spare crumpets in the freezer for him. He will be pleased :D
-
Elle, I found that reheating the savoury ones , crisped them up.
-
Thanks for that recipe Chookie. My sourdough needs to come out of the fridge and be boosted to make some bread etc.
-
Have discovered that you can use SD starter straight from fridge.
Have also been making 2 cups at a time.
Have added above to basic instructions .
-
Would this work as waffle batter, too, do you think?
-
The waffle batter is a bit different. I think I have posted a SD waffle recipe somewhere. I would still give it a go to see how it turns out.
Here it is Chookie - http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=8952.0 JD
-
Trust you JD ;D You must know this forum inside and out!!!
I've just ordered some crumpet rings from Simply No Knead and will be trying these soon.
-
Thanks Judy.
-
I have taken my starter out and am feeding it up to make some more crumpets. We love them.
-
Cookie, are you adding anything to the batter?
-
Yes, walnuts and sultanas. I may try a savoury one tomorrow. I thought I would make a few and take them to Busselton with me in the van freezer. They would be a lovely snack, toasted with coffee after a hard day Model A driving or organising.
-
Cookie, good thought. I keep a bag of frozen ones in the fridge. Don't put too much additions in the savoury ones. I over did it and they weren't as nice. The next lot with less were better.
-
Thanks for the hint.
-
If you have the small springform pans, just leave off the base and they make excellent crumpet rings.... Mine are around 12cm in diameter and 4cm high.
Made these today but put too much in the right hand ring and flipped it a before it was ready. The uncooked dough splashed a bit onto the other one..and that's the whitish smear of the one on the plate ;D (with blueberries this time :))

Thanks again, Chookie! I doubt these could be any faster to make!!
-
GF, what a good idea. Looks pretty good to me. Thanks for sharing.
-
I really love this recipe too. They are so easy. I made mine tonight and I'm feeding the starter overnight and in the morning ready to make some savoury ones tomorrow. Thanks again Chookie.
-
GF that's a great idea, multi purpose. I'm going to get a few of them. Now to feed up my sour dough.
-
I bought some d.line silicon egg rings but couldn't find the size you use Chookie. Mine were 7cm diameter and cost $3.99 each, not a bargain price like yours. I forgot to add the sugar and silly me still poured 1/4 cup into each one and of course they overflowed, I also had the gas up too high and they burnt :-)) Perhaps I shouldn't have decided to cook at 9pm ;D
Second attempt with the leftover batter made 3 and just look at these, they are perfect. A full batch of this recipe will make 8 crumpets in my sized rings. I ate one whilst still warm but will heat the other 2 in the toaster for breakfast in the morning. Once you get the hang of it, there can't be anything easier. I feed my starter regularly but don't bake bread very often so this will save me throwing out a lot of excess sour dough in the future.
Thanks Chookie, another winner.
-
Perfect Judy 8)
-
Great crumpets Judy.
-
They look perfect Judy.
-
Thanks girls, I was very pleased once I got it all right ;D
-
They do look nice Judy :)
-
Judy, they look good. Once you get the method right you can use up that starter and not throw it away. They freeze very well. Daughter came in from Skiing and I was cooking her some to take home but she kept eating them.!
-
She would have been starving after going skiing Chookie so that was quite understandable. I'll have to make a batch for Mum, she will think I'm a very clever chook(ie) ;D
-
Judy, the smaller ones would be handy. Just a handy little morning tea.
-
Judy you must try the raisin and walnut version. Soooooo lovely.
-
I will cookie. These would be so much easier than making raisin bread to toast for breakfast.
I so rarely eat morning tea Chookie, breakfast lasts me until lunch time.
-
Judy, I just have to have my cup of coffee at 11am. On 5 day I may have a little something with it. On a 2 day, skinny coffee and no nibble.
-
Made Wholemeal and sesame large SD crumpets. Froze them so didn't try them straight away. Split them in half and toasted. Beautiful.
To 1 cup of wholemeal starter, add 1/2 teaspoon carb soda and 2 teaspoons of Sesame seeds and sprinkle a few on the top while cooking.
To make Wholemeal starter, just remove 1/2 cup of white starter into a jar and feed it with wholemeal flour and filtered water until you have enough.
-
Thanks Chookie, I'd like to make some wholemeal crumpets.
-
Chookie, I've been given some Herman friendship cake batter. Do you think I could make crumpets with this?
-
ES, I'd give it a go.
-
Thanks, I'll give it a try when I've fed it up
-
These were so easy. I now need to buy some crumpet rings - I used a set of scone cutters and made them in different sizes as that's all I had. I on,y made half a batch as I didn't have the proper rings, and only made 4. I had 2 of them for breakfast with some bantam eggs, and the kids had one each. I was so proud of my breakfast that I showed DH, and he took a bite before I could take a photo. He was impressed with how light and fluffy they were. I'm so glad I finally got around to making them.

-
They look perfect.
-
They look good Sue.Great thinking of using your scone cutters. ;)
-
They look great ES. Love the tiny bubbles.
-
Tracked down some crumpet rings and we had these for breakfast yesterday. They are yummy and so easy to make.
DH asked if we could have them again for breakfast this morning he liked them so much. Forgot to take a photo both times, as we were too busy eating them! Another great recipe Chookie.
-
That is great Katie. Glad Richard enjoyed them. I have been making a double batch and freeze most. They toast well from frozen. I picked the last of the Jostaberries yesterday and am going to try dropping a few on to some of the crumpets before I turn them over.
-
With my new 12 cm frying pan I get 3 good sized crumpets from this recipe.
-
Look good Judy. I see a posh restaurant is cooking these in a a pan and serving wedges. I think they must finish them off in the oven.
-
Oh my!! These are delicious.Thank you Chookie for another foolproof delicious recipe :-*

Lovely looking crumpets CC.
-
They look delicious CC.
-
It's a great way to use the sour dough starter Denise, glad to see you've come onboard with the crumpets. I doubt I'll ever buy another one now.
-
C C , they look great. I have found that they heat up well in a hot dry frypan.
Judy, I have one of those small pans. Must give it a go.
