Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 6 crumpets
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten free flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended and free of lumps.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the coconut milk and honey. Gently mix with a whisk or spatula until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter - not too runny, not too thick.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to fully absorb the liquid and the baking powder to activate.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil.
- If you have crumpet rings, place them in the pan. If not, you can use round cookie cutters or make free-form crumpets.
- Pour the batter into the rings, filling each about 1/2 inch deep. Cook slowly, allowing small bubbles to form on the surface.
- Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on the first side. The top should look dry and be covered with small holes.
- Carefully remove the rings and flip the crumpets. Cook the second side for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked crumpets to a wire rack. Serve warm with additional honey drizzled on top and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes if desired.
Tips
- Batter Consistency is Key: The secret to amazing crumpets is getting the right batter thickness. It should be similar to pancake batter - smooth and pourable, but not too runny.
- Patience is Your Best Friend: Cook these crumpets on medium-low heat to ensure they develop those signature holes and get perfectly golden without burning.
- No Crumpet Rings? No Problem! While traditional crumpet rings are ideal, you can use round cookie cutters or even make free-form crumpets in a non-stick pan.
- Look for the Bubbles: Those signature crumpet holes form during cooking. Wait until the top looks dry and is covered with small bubbles before flipping.
- Serving Suggestion: Elevate your crumpets by drizzling extra honey and sprinkling toasted coconut flakes on top for an extra touch of indulgence.Pro Tip: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to allow the gluten-free flour to absorb the liquid and the baking powder to activate fully.
