Judy, that's an excellent question! It sounds like your batter may have had a bit too much flour in it. Were you measuring your ingredients using cups, by any chance? We ask just because we've found that it's very common for folks who measure their flour by volume to get too much flour in each cup, resulting in a batter that is thick and has trouble rising or forming bubbles. If you have access to a kitchen scale that measures in grams, that's your best option for getting really accurate measurements. If that's not an option, we recommend visiting our How to measure flour guide, which has a video as well as step-by-step instructions for getting the best measurements out of your measuring cups. Hopefully, that should help you get those beautiful crumpets you've been dreaming of. Happy baking! Kat@KAF
