Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup warm milk
• Butter or oil, for greasing

Directions

Let’s get these crumpets cooking!

1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, whisk together the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it’s frothy and bubbly.
2. Make the Batter: Add the gluten-free flour and salt into the yeast mixture, whisking until smooth. Cover it and let it rest in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
3. Prep the Skillet: Generously grease your crumpet rings and non-stick skillet with butter or oil. Place the greased rings onto the cold skillet.
4. Mix in Baking Soda: Stir the baking soda into the warm milk until dissolved. Gently whisk this mixture into your rested batter.
5. Cook the Crumpets: Heat your skillet over low-medium heat. Spoon the batter into each ring, filling them about 2/3 full. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the tops are set and bubbly with golden brown bottoms.
6. Finish Cooking: Carefully remove the rings, flip the crumpets, and cook for another 2-3 minutes to brown the tops.

How to Serve Gluten-Free Crumpets

Now, let’s bring in the toppings! Slather them with butter for a classic treat, or go wild with jam and fresh berries for a pop of color and flavor. Maybe even a drizzle of honey if you’re feeling fancy. The aroma fills your kitchen, and the warm crunch of the crumpets will make your heart soar.

How to Store Gluten-Free Crumpets

Got leftovers? No worries! These crumpets last in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Just pop them in an airtight container. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them! They’ll stay fresh for up to two months. To reheat, just toast them in a skillet or pop them in the toaster.

Tips to Make Gluten-Free Crumpets

Here are a few insider tricks to nail those crumpets!

• Don’t rush the rising time: A longer rest will give you fluffier crumpets.
• Use a thermometer: The water should be warm but not hot — too much heat can kill the yeast!
• Experiment with flavors: Add herbs or cheese to the batter for a savory twist.

Variation

Want to spice things up? Try making them vegan! Swap out the milk for any plant-based milk and the butter for a vegan option. Feeling adventurous? Toss in some nutmeg or cinnamon for a hint of warmth.
