==Home-made crumpet recipe==
This recipe is for making crumpets in a [[bread making machine]]. We have a [[normal crumpet recipe here]] should you want to make them the traditional way.

I tried this recipe out today to see if crumpets could be made in a breadmaker. It worked perfectly. I was using a [[Panasonic SD-ZB2502 automatic breadmaker]] on the pizza dough setting which has a very useful feature. If you ignore the beeps at the end of the dough making cycle and just leave it switched on, it keeps the 'basket' warm indefinitely which allows the crumpet mixture to continue fermenting. This is very useful if you have no warm airing cupboard handy!

If you don't think your breadmaker has this feature, you could quite safely just put it through a second pizza dough cycle.

'''Cooking the [[Crumpets|crumpets]]'''
# Heat a lightly greased, heavy-based/thick-bottomed [[Frying pan|frying pan]] to medium-high, [[Oil|oil]] your [[Egg rings|egg rings]] and spoon 2 tablespoons of [[Batter|batter]] into each ring. Use a high temperature oil such as [[Rape oil|rape]] or [[groundnut oil]].
# After a while, they will start to [[Bubble|bubble]] and form holes in the [[Crumpet|crumpet]]. Allow them to cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Once the surface dries, they are ready to be turned.
# Carefully lift off the rings, flip the [[Crumpets|crumpets]] over and cook on the other side for just a minute
# If you knock the rings while the crumpets are cooking it tends to break the seal around the ring, making it less likely that they will stick to the pan, thus making them easier to turn over.
# Thoroughly clean the rings and re-grease before making the next batch, or see Chef's tip below!

===Serving suggestions===
Serve immediately with lashings of [[Butter|butter]]. Toast them in the same way as you would normally do if they are not going be consumed straight away.

===Chef's tip===
Well, it's been pointed out before that I am a lazy cook. It's true. I find messing about with the rings (especially the steel ones as they tend to stick) a bit tiresome. So I made a few normal crumpets using the rings, and then, when I got bored, made a couple of great big ones by just pouring a huge dollop of batter straight into the pan without any restraining rings. They would be especially good if you are doing [[Jamie Oliver's eggy crumpet recipe]]! If you need to re-toast them, just cut 'em up so they fit in your toaster. (Alternatively, just stick them under a preheated grill.)

This also means it's possible to make crumpets without rings if you're careful and don't mind slightly irregularly-shaped ones; and you certainly don't have to make them as big as I did. By the way, the big crumpets take about two ladlefuls of batter (200 ml).

The trick to be successful with these is to make them a little bit thinner than shop-bought crumpets.
===Mini frying pan===
The [[Tefal one egg wonder 12 cm mini frying pan]] is just the right size to make single crumpets!
