Equipment

  • Crumpet rings

Ingredients

  • 275 grams sourdough starter well fed and active

Instructions

  • Lightly brush a frying pan and 4 crumpet rings with oil.
  • Place the pan and crumpet rings over a low heat.
  • Mix the sourdough starter and bicarbonate soda together and let it begin to bubble.
  • Spoon the batter into the crumpet rings and cook on low for 5 minutes until bubbles are forming on the top of the crumpets and the sides start to pull away from the edge of the rings.
  • Remove the crumpet rings and carefully flip them over to cook the tops of the pancakes for another 3-5 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with a spread of your choice.

Notes

100% hydration

The starter I use is made of equal weights of organic rye flour and water. If your starter is less than 100% hydration you may need to adjust the levels of moisture or bicarbonate soda in this recipe.
