❓ What Is James Martin Crumpets Recipe?

James Martin’s Crumpets Recipe involves creating a yeast-based batter, allowing it to rise, and then cooking the crumpets in a hot griddle or pan, resulting in fluffy, golden-brown delights with characteristic holes.

📜 James Martin Crumpets Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (340g) water, lukewarm
• 1 cup (227g) milk, lukewarm
• 2 tablespoons (28g) butter, melted
• 3 1/2 cups (420g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/4 teaspoons (8g) salt

🥞 How To Make James Martin Crumpets

1. To measure flour, weigh it or carefully scoop some into a cup, then remove any excess.
2. Beat the ingredients together for 2 minutes on high speed. It’s best to use a high-speed stand or hand mixer.
3. Let the batter sit out for an hour at room temperature, covered. It will grow and start to bubble up.
4. Near the end of your rest time, heat a griddle to around 325 degrees Fahrenheit on medium. If you don’t have an electric griddle, set a frying pan to a lower temperature than pancakes.
5. Prepare a griddle or frying pan by lightly greasing it, and then lay as many oiled English muffin rings (3 3/4 inches in diameter) in the pan as will fit.
6. Use a muffin scoop to transfer the scant 1/4 cup of sticky batter to each ring.
7. Remove the rings with a pair of tongs after waiting around 4 minutes. After 10 minutes on the first side, the crumpets should have little bubbles/holes on top. They should have a dry, wrinkled appearance around the edges. Their undersides will be a golden brown with white spots.
8. Flip the crumpets over and cook for another 5 minutes to brown the tops and fully cook the insides. Although “real” crumpets have a white top, the crumpet police won’t punish you for spicing up your breakfast with a little color.
9. Once the crumpets are done, take them out of the pan and cook the rest of the batter.
10. Serve hot. Alternatively, let cool, then wrap in plastic and keep at room temperature. To savor, warm in the toaster. Serve with butter or butter and jam.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Precisely measure all your ingredients, especially the flour, for consistent results.
• Utilize a high-speed stand or hand mixer to beat the batter vigorously for at least 2 minutes to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
• Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for an hour; this time allows it to develop the essential bubbles that create the characteristic holes in crumpets.
• Ensure you lightly grease the griddle or pan to prevent sticking and use oiled English muffin rings for a uniform crumpet shape.
• Cook the crumpets for approximately 4 minutes on the first side until they display bubbles and develop a dry, wrinkled edge. Then, flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes to achieve the desired golden-brown appearance.
