# Ingredients:
→ Batter
01 -
200g sourdough starter (active or discard)
02 -

04 -

200g water
→ For Cooking
06 -
20g butter, for greasing the rings
# Instructions:
01 -
In a batter jug or small bowl, gently combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
02 -
Add the sourdough starter and water to the flour mixture. Whisk until the consistency matches heavy whipping cream, adding extra water if needed to thin.
03 -
Heat a frying pan to moderate heat (low and slow is key). Brush the inside of the crumpet rings with butter and place them in the pan.
04 -
Fill rings halfway with batter. Cover pan with lid and cook slowly for 10-20 minutes until bubbles form and pop on the surface. If needed, gently prick the tops with a toothpick to encourage hole formation.
05 -
Once the tops are set with visible holes, flip to brown the other side briefly. Only flip after fully cooked through to preserve the holes. Serve warm with butter and jam.
# Notes:
01 -
Can use either active sourdough starter or discard as recipe uses baking powder for leavening
02 -
For more holes, use a toothpick to create additional holes while cooking
