I followed recipe and they turned out practically identical! Now I want to get them a little "lighter". Can I use powdered non-fat milf? If so how much extra water to sub out the cup of milk? I am going to try adding your suggestion of 1/4 tspn of Baking Soda and would like to try a tbspn of vinegar??? And finally can I mix in or sub some KA bread flour?
Thank you,
Rick
Hi Rick
Crumpets are not usually a light baked good, but if you do want to try some different versions, we'd suggest making small changes at a time, change only one ingredient at a time, and keep good notes on what works and what does not. That way, if the recipe goes south, you'll be able to find the culprit ingredient much more quickly. The only thing I would say not to try is the bread flour. Too much gluten in that for a good crumpet.
Happy experimenting! ~ MJ
