Splendid! I first discovered your channel a little under a year ago when I was doing "quarantine sourdough", and was looking for a recipe to use up all the starter I was working through. Found your original English crumpet recipe, and adapted it. Great to see your new recipe! Hope everyone gets a lot out of it, and keep up the great work!
These look delicious. Remind me (in looks) of the deep butter-soaked potato cakes my dad used to serve up at breakfast. Crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Once I've got hold of some sourdough starter, I'll definitely be trying this recipe with my breakfast, Keef. Rick
Wow, those look so amazingly delicious. I'm glad to know that I have been buttering my crumpets correctly. I should get a starter going again now that we're locked down again here. Crumpets seem like a very appropriate response to the circumstances. Best wishes to you and Mrs KC!
My first mother was developed in Hong Kong in 1996, I had to explain to my boss (American) why the $200 he spent on the internet for a air dried San Fran Sour dough would not last very long, but the result was I developed the first original Hong Kong sour dough which was sold in our outlets in through out Hong Kong. Sadly most people had not encountered bread of this type before and just did not understand it.
A fun book about a sourdough starter that helps to save a kingdom is A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher. It features an animated gingerbread man, too.
Hiya keef great recipe! I have a request do you know beans on toast and quesadillas? Well i like to combine the two and its really tasty. Its basically Heinz beans with some of the tomato sauce drained out and some cheddar cheese and a little bit of HP sauce between two flour wraps fried in a pan. Shop bought will do but home made are probably better. If you do decide to make your own wraps be sure to not cook them to long as you will be frying the wraps in the pan when you are making the bean and cheese quesadillas. Oh and you should microwave the beans before but thats optional. It just makes em better.
How is it sour? Sour milk? Sour cream? It can't only be flour and water! I NEED TO KNOW! Never had crumpets ever o/ Thanks for the vid, luv for both of ya
I will be trying these as I have lots of sour dough starter but it seems strange to me that there isn't any extra flour added. So this works without flour? Thanks so much!
No way did the most unorthodox haphazard chef on RU-vid burn his first batch of crumpets!!.. Marmite is the absolute best on crumpets (and even nicer with a bit of cheese too)
At the end? Because the taste test was delayed an hour and I needed the crumpets hot so the butter would melt. They weren't f*cked up, by the way. Man.
Microwaving them does not F them up. They are crumpets! They taste good no matter what ya do to them. You are supposed to butter and microwave them. You never want a cold crumpet! 😂
