Sourdough Crumpets

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup sourdough starter, unproofed
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Recipe

• 1 measure out 1 cup of sourdough discard into a small pitcher or bowl (a pitcher makes it easier to pour the batter).
• 2 mix in sugar and salt.
• 3 grease a skillet and heat over medium-low burner. about the same heat you use for pancakes. place thoroughly greased rings or cans in skillet.
• 4 when skillet is hot, stir in baking soda and immediately pour 1/4 inch of batter into each ring.
• 5 cook until edges appear dry and bubbles have formed.
• 6 remove rings with pliers or tongs and, if desired, flip crumpets and cook for an additional 30 seconds or so.
• 7 stir batter before pouring the next round. you'll need to re-grease your rings and skillet if you do more than two rounds of crumpets (depending on how many rings you have and how quickly you use up the batter).
• 8 enjoy hot with butter and/or jam. leftovers are good toasted.
