I made some crumpets today and they are totally delicious. You are right about not overfilling the rings. I tried using a ladle to scoop in the mixture and over filled the rings. Once I had the depth right they were almost perfect. One tip I discovered today is don't fish out the spills until the end. They are delicious all black and burnt.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave them a try my friend and they turned out well. Here is my latest video recipe. Cauliflower Cheese with a Parmesan and breadcrumb crust. You can find the ingredients list and full written method on my website, profoodhomemade.com/cauliflower-cheese/

I've never had a crumpet and have been curious about them for years. I followed your instructions carefully, except used large heart-shaped cookie cutters, and they turned out delicious, especially for a Yank's first attempt. The whole family loved them!

I love your videos, great recipe, my only advices would be not to add the baking soda until right before you're ready to pour, otherwise the acid in the sourdough will interact during the rest/ferment and won't have much oomph left, lol, otherwise looks delicious.

Thanks for watching TV much appreciated.

[@jerrysmith372]

Thank you John these crumpets look amazing. It seems to be similar to an American "pancake" only smaller and a bit thicker. I just about spilt my tea laughing when you said you were using your "Trusty Shower Cap" to cover the poolish. All this time I thought it was a special baking bowl cover and wondered where I could get one. LMAO :) Your measurements are so precise even to the IR temperature gun you use to check the pan temp. Great idea. I have an electric range and often wonder just how hot the pan is getting. I also appreciate that you put both grams and ounces in your videos and recipes so I don't have to convert everything. I like that you use a scale - sometimes volume can be the same but have different weight like with flour. John, I was watching another starter video from another channel - and in the comments a person asked if there was anything to be done with the discards during the 7 day process of getting the starter going. One reply was to make muffins, pancakes, or crumpets with the discarded starter dough. Is there anything to this? Do you do anything with the starter discards? Another suggestion was to add it to ones compost bin. I would respect your thoughts on this. I ordered your granulated sourdough starter just about an hour ago and am anxious to get started making some of your bread recipes. Thanks again John. Your the best.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

As a retired pro chef i've used scales all of my working life, the only people who have problems with measurements doing my recipes are the ones converting to cups and measuring jugs, I weigh everything including any liquids, and try to use grams instead of ounces then there is no ambiguity at all, your ounce where you live could well be slightly different than the ounce in the UK but my gram is exactly the same as your gram wherever you live, and it's a smaller unit, hence more accurate.👍😉😃 PS, I use my excess starter to make these every Sat, kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGmrqoWXd9Wkf7s

I love your videos I have a question when you take your sourdough starter out of the refrigerator do you need to let the whole batch sit to room temperature or just the amount you’re going to take out to make and then again to re-feed the starter does it need to be room temperature to re-feed or can it be immediately after taking out of the refrigerator thank you so much

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Just take out what you need, and replace (re feed) it, and put the starter back in the fridge.

I've have experience a bit of negative attitude whenever I brought up the subject of a english muffin. I love them with butter and jam. They are also good to make a breakfast sandwich. I have made something very close to a Sourdough Crumpet by accident.

Thank you for this recipe for making these I have wondered how to make crumpets for so long. I am just about to put your hot cross buns in the oven, minus the crosses as these are my mini tea cakes. As I am not yet into doing the sourdough thing yet and love crumpets is it possible for you to do a recipe for crumpets non sourdough style. Thank you for doing these easy to follow recipes.

Hi John. Thank you for this video. If your starter is one week between feeds and in the fridge, does it rise, reach a peak then start to fall? If so does it matter when you take some out to make the poolish? Also if you cook/bake several times in the week your starter maybe running low would you do a top up mid week? I've just cooked your crumpets with reasonable success and with a few corrections I'm looking foward to going again. I have to admit to being 70+ and never having cooked with sourdough before.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

It should rise, butvery slowly in the fridge. Thanks for watching, happy new year my friend.

[@Giorgia839]

Hello John! Thank you for this video. I have been trying to make crumpets for some time, and have tried different recipes, but nothing seems to work. Even with your recipe, i can’t get them to cook inside. No matter what I do with the pan temperature they’re always done or overdone on the outside and still raw inside... which also means they deflate immediately after taking them out of the rings and they don’t have the typical awesome crumpet consistency. Any clues on what I could be doing wrong?

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks for watching 1StitchForward, much appreciated. Very strange, I can only think your temperature is too high, the outside is cooking before the inside can keep up, turn it down a cook a lot slower.

Hey, so this problem seems to be all over bread forums when I research it, yes, it has got to that point...😂. I suffer the same issues and so do others in the end most people gave up. I don’t believe most of these KZbin recipes are really getting the inside texture right, otherwise they seem to know something that countless others can’t seem to work out. Would love to see a picture of the inside . Did you ever solve the issue?

Interestingly John, I saw a tv programme on sourdough bread here in Spain just yesterday, and I wondered whether this tip might help those of your viewers who are having issues getting their starter going, the bakery viewed, fermented a chopped apple and a few raisins for 24 hours in the water they use for making the starter, hence creating an added ammount of yeast bacteria to the mix, I dont know what you think of this ? Hope it might help .

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Once your sourdough has started and is going strong there really is no need to feed it anything but flour, adding more sugar in the form of fruit will only force the sourdough to work too quickly when you should slowing it down.

It's fine Marina, the liquid is called the liqueur, you can mix it in or pour it off when you feed the starter, try to use a little less water next time you feed, but it is normal to see this grey water on top.

Mr. Kirkwood - Recently I've been making crumpets at home, though I've never had one in the UK to compare results. Should the baking soda add any taste to the dough? If you are familiar with German soft pretzel dough (Laugenbrot) I notice the baking soda in my crumpets imparts a taste similar to Laugenbrot. Is it normal for crumpets in the UK to have that taste or should I cut back on the amount of baking soda being used? I've been using a mature pre-ferment yeast starter rather than a wild sourdough starter. I've been making my crumpets on a cast iron griddle pan having essentially no sides. It is easier to flip things without sides to get in the way.
