directions

  • Beat the egg yolks and blend in the sifted flour, sugar, salt.
  • Then add in the melted butter and milk to make a thin batter about the consistency of thin cream.
  • Beat the egg whites to the soft peak stage and quickly add to the batter, folding in with a knife or metal spoon.
  • Heat a lightly greased griddle or a frying pan; pour in large spoonfuls of the batter when the pan is hot.
  • Each crumpet should spread thinly to about 4" to 5" in diameter (you may have to tilt the pan to achieve this).
  • When the batter is brown underneath and slightly bubbly on top, turn and cook on the other side.
  • Serve warm.
