Let's get started

Make sure the water (100 ml) and 200 ml of milk are lukewarm; it's important that they're not too hot. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar and 5 grams of yeast and stir well.

Let the yeast mixture stand for around 15 minutes until it starts to foam vigorously.

Mix 250 grams of white bread flour with 1 teaspoon of salt, then slowly add the yeast mixture. Stir to make a smooth batter, cover with a clean tea towel and leave the batter to rise in a warm place for 2 hours.

Mix half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda with 50 ml of lukewarm water and stir it into the batter. Let the batter rise for another half hour in a warm place.

Use a brush to grease a cast iron frying pan and cooking rings with neutral oil, then place the rings in the pan. Heat the pan over a medium-high heat. Heating the rings with the pan will help prevent the crumpet batter from sticking.
