Second batch of crumpets have been made . I think the recipe needs adjusting. Edible, even delicious but a bit heavy.
I've never made crumpets before but I've had atayef pancakes (middle eastern pancakes) lots of times and they always remind me of a lighter crumpet so maybe have a look at those recipes to get some ideas on how to adjust yours.
I need to add more milk and maybe a little baking powder. The batter needs to be a bit thinner.
Donβt suppose youβd indulge us with a photo of said crumpets?
here's a pic of a previous batch

Iβm not why but I canβt see the image :(
Definitely include a tsp of baking soda. This helps the holes form. Also the dough should be just solid enough to stay in the moulds. Cook on one side only until solid as they will be re-toasted before serving. Your recipie should specify this - but if it doesn't and you don't mind a patronising bastard (albeit one that can cook) then this video may help crumpets.
