so I made this today again, for the umpteenth time. Several bags of flour have been wasted over the years because I could never get a recipe to work perfect. After reading all the comments and knowing enough about baking to make some substitutions and went for this recipe this morning after getting woken up by a car alarm very very early.weighed the flour, put the batter together and let it sit, and did substitute powdered milk for fresh milk and baking soda for the baking powder. Let it rise and got the griddle ready. Cooked them up with the hope that I'd have something with my breakfast. Got the cookie cutters ready and heated and scoop it into the rings. I got beautiful bubbles on top, and plenty of them too! Wait until the edges were dry and almost cooked, and flipped it over my beautiful crumpet. It sank down a little bit. Sigh. Not Enough cooked dough to hold up the weight of the crumpet. Second batch when on with a little bit more dough, but they sunk down a little too far and cooked a little bit batch:r. Better results but it sank to under the weight of its own crumpet. Third go of this batch: let the crumpet cook for 10 minutes. I left them on the grill, thinking they would probably burn. They didn't burn! Flip them over for a couple of minutes just to cook up the top, and I had beautiful crumpet to go with my breakfast! Thank you very very much for a wonderful recipe and blog and finally helping me get to the success of being able to have crumpets in the morning.
