Ingredients:
2 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 cup warm milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda, dissolved in
1/4 cup warm water
butter, for greasing
Directions:
In large bowl, stir together yeast and water.
Let stand five minutes then add warm milk, butter, salt, and sugar.
Stir in flour until the batter has a slightly elastic consistency.
Cover and let stand 45 minutes.
Stir in dissolved soda, cover, and let rise 20 to 30 minutes.
Grease griddle and heat over medium-low heat.
Drop batter by 1/4 cup onto griddle, spacing 2 inches apart.
Reduce heat to low, cover griddle and cook crumpets until tops look dry, about 15 minutes.
They will look a little gummy, but will be done; do not turn over.
Repeat until batter is used up.
