I made these today and they turned out just like the picture! Used a cast iron skillet and jar rings. Could only do 5 at a time. I made 34 using the jar rings. I brushed the skillet with grape seed oil and greased the rings with butter. No sticking anywhere. Centers were well done and nice and spongy. I did add 1 tsp of sugar, and I think I will add the baking soda as suggested by someone else for more bubbles next time, although I did get a considerable amount holes. I am so glad I had to try only one recipe to get a winner. I am putting on a large tea party and needed crumpets. I am considering getting an electric skillet so I can cook a lot at a time the day of the party. That way they will be right off the griddle, as they are so super easy to make. I believe the jar rings will be perfect for the tea party, as the size is dantier than english muffin size. I will try freezing these, as we will never be able to eat this many at once. Thanks so much.
