Directions

1Start with the liquids: milk and water.
2Add dry active yeast and a tiny bit of sugar to the liquids.
3Stir to combine and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
4In a large bowl, add plain all-purpose flour, a little bit of salt, and baking powder.
5Whisk the dry ingredients to combine them well.
6Gradually add the yeasty liquid mixture to the flour mixture, bit by bit, until all the liquid is fully incorporated.
7Vigorously whisk the batter for at least 5 minutes to develop gluten.
8Scrape the sides of the bowl down with a spatula to ensure no dry bits remain.
9Cover the bowl and set aside for 45 minutes at room temperature; the mix will double in volume.
10Gently degas the risen mixture by stirring it sensually to achieve an airy mix without large, irregular bubbles.
11Heat a large non-stick pan.
12Lube crumpet rings with melted butter or cooking spray.
13Place the lubricated crumpet rings into the hot pan.
14Fill each mold about 1/3 full with batter; do not overfill.
15Start cooking on high heat for 30 seconds.
16Turn the flame down to medium after 30 seconds.
17After 2 minutes, turn the flame down to a minimum.
18Observe bubbles appearing and popping at the top; pop any large bubbles with a toothpick if necessary.
19Once the tops are set and the dough is fully cooked, flip the crumpets over to get a tan on the front side.
20Carefully remove the rings once the bottoms are beautifully brown and crispy.
21Cool crumpets down on a wire rack.
22Serve warm, slathered with butter, honey, and a touch of flaky salt.
