Crumpets are soft, spongy griddle cakes with signature bubbles on top, perfect for soaking up butter and jam. This easy homemade crumpet recipe uses simple pantry ingredients for a warm, comforting breakfast or teatime treat that’s better than store-bought.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour
  • Warm water
  • Warm milk
  • Active dry yeast
  • Sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Butter or oil (for greasing pan and crumpet rings)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix warm water, warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Stir in flour and salt to form a smooth, thick batter. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until bubbly.
  3. Stir in baking powder and let rest for 10–15 more minutes.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and grease both the skillet and crumpet rings.
  5. Place rings on the skillet. Fill each halfway with batter.
  6. Cook for 7–10 minutes, until the tops are dry and covered in holes.
  7. Remove the rings, flip the crumpets, and cook for 1–2 minutes more to lightly brown the tops.
  8. Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or savory toppings.

Notes

  • Crumpet rings (or clean tuna cans with ends removed) help shape the crumpets.
  • Batter should be bubbly and pourable—not too thick—for proper holes to form.
  • Try adding cinnamon, herbs, or cheese for variation.
  • Great served sweet or savory—think poached eggs, smoked salmon, or jam.
