This will make 3 crumpets

Weigh the sourdough starter into the mixing bowl and add all the dry ingredients. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

Leave to stand for 20 minutes. You should see bubbles start to form in the mixture.

Heat a skillet or heavy frying pan, lightly oiled with sunflower oil, to medium heat

Grease the crumpet rings

Place the crumpet rings in the pan and spoon in the batter to about 1cm thick

The crumpets should heat through gently until bubbles form all over the surface. When the surface is completely set, turn the crumpets over, gently pushing the crumpets to the opposite end of crumpet ring so that the surface would be just reaching the pan.

Remove after one minute and carefully remove the crumpets out of the rings.

Serve immediately with butter
