These Apple Crumpets are delicious served hot with lots of syrup poured over them. (I enjoy eating mine with apple sauce in place of the syrup ... mmmmm !)One of the very first recipes I ever published on this blog was for my Granny’s drop scones (also known as ‘crumpets’). You can see that recipe – and read my memories of them - over here.
I have since adapted this recipe for making apple crumpets – these really are delicious and I made a large batch of them recently (simply double the mixture if you’re feeding a large crowd), when we had some work-related Australian visitors come out to the farm for a visit. I served them hot with tea and coffee, and they were all eaten up in the blink of an eye !
Apple Crumpets
4 heaped tbsp Flour
1 level tbsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Cinnamon powder
Pinch of Salt
1 Egg, beaten
6 tbsp Milk
2 tbsp Apple Sauce
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
Oil for frying
Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a bowl. Add the egg, milk, apple sauce & vanilla essence and beat to create a smooth batter. Heat some oil in a large frying pan, and drop tablespoons of the batter into the pan and cook until golden (flipping the crumpets over half way through) on both sides. This should only take around 5 – 8 minutes. Serve hot with or without butter and add your choice of topping – syrup, jam, honey or more apple sauce. Makes around 12 – 14.
