I had some leftover pancake batter one time, been sitting in the fridge for several days. I decided to cook it quick and buttered a cake pan, dumped in the batter, and stuck it in the oven. It came out very crumpet-like, i.e., full of bubbles, if a bit cakier. Freakish! Although, when you think about it, they both have the holes in comon. Do you suppose there's a way to make actual crumpets without the yeast? I pretty much can't eat foods with yeast or that are fermented, and I do love crumpets. Hi Ruthie, I'd start with an internet search for "yeast free crumpets" and go from there. Best of luck with your search. ~ MJ
