CRUMPET--A small, patty-cake-shape, unsweetened, leavened bread made
of flour, milk, butter, salt, yeast, and egg. The word comes from the
Middle Eng- lish word for "wafer." Crumpet dough is stiff but can be
spoon-beaten and spoon- dropped for shaping. Crumpets are cooked
twice, first on a griddle until well risen and browned on both sides;
then they are split and toasted to complete the cooking. They are
served hot with butter and jam.
The British dote on them for tea and, when away from home, they wax
soulful at the thought of fresh, hot buttered crumpets eaten before
an open fire. Although they are similar to their English-muffin
cousins, crumpets are softer in texture with surface holes appearing
during the pan cooking; these holes enable them to absorb great
quantities of butter.

1 Package active dry yeast or
1 Cake compressed yeast
1/4 c Water*
2 tb Sugar
1 ts Salt
3 tb Butter or margarine
1 c Milk, scalded
1 Egg
3 c All-purpose flour

Use very warm water (105

risen and browned on one side. Turn over, rings and all, and brown on
other side (should take about 18 to 20 minutes). Remove, cool, split,
and toast. Serve with butter and orange mar- malade or jam. Makes 8

thickness on lightly floured board. Cut with floured 4-inch cutter.
