Instructions

  Place a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Grease six 2¾-inch x 1¼-inch crumpet rings with butter. Place the rings in the skillet and divide the batter between the rings. Allow to cook for 10 minutes, or until risen, bubbles appear on the surface and the batter has set around the edge. Turn the crumpets to cook the other side for 1 minute. Remove from the pan, remove the rings and allow to cool.

  Tip: Two stacked egg rings can be used in place of a crumpet ring.
