Sourdough Crumpets

I make one that is a combination of a recipe that Bookbag posted and one that I got from Ed Woods's sourdough breads cookbook. It works really well and has a lovely flavor:

• 1 cup sourdough starter
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 egg, well beaten

Mix together rapidly and pour 1/4 inch or so of the batter in each of the greased crumpet rings on a lightly buttered griddle. Be sure and use a large bowl as this dough will foam up like crazy! Wait until the first side looks holey and cooked (the glossy look is gone). Remove the rings and flip the crumpets and cook the other side.

Makes 8

Cool, serve toasted with butter and jam, or add breakfast meats to batter and serve with butter.

You will want to be sure that your sourdough starter is fed the night before and nice and fluffy and ready to go. Also, put the crumpet rings on the griddle and let them heat up a bit before pouring in the batter. Helps to keep them from sticking. These are so good that I have to double the recipe if I want to eat one because my husband and son eat them all!

Spread the word
