Whole Wheat Crumpets

Crumpet is small, thick, mildly salted and negligible sweetened flat bread with a soft and porous texture. We are all familiar with the tea and crumpets phrase. Crumpets are made from a flour and yeast mixture on a griddle / pan, served toasted and buttered, along with tea. They are categorized one among fast breads. I spotted them during my recent visit to the United Kingdom. They are absolutely delicious, soft and porous resembling a pancake and English muffin. They are usually made using crumpet rings on a hot griddle / pan. I did not have those rings, hence used my small size pan to cook them. Further, I have also narrated the baked version of these crumpets using a muffin pan. Enjoy these yummy British teatime treat, dripping with butter and jam and a dollop of fresh cream if desired. They can as well be served with savory spread. These crumpets are cooked using whole wheat flour unlike the original version where it is cooked using strong white bread flour/all purpose flour.
