Sourdough Crumpets

Homemade English crumpets are very special, but you need a yeast-fermented batter so it's not exactly quick. If you are keeping a sourdough starter, making crumpets becomes a very quick and easy process. The thing about sourdough is that you have to keep 'feeding' it several times a week. This involves discarding some of the starter and replacing it with fresh flour and water. This strikes me as incredibly wasteful, but there are things you can do with the discard and making sourdough crumpets is one of them. Crumpets are usually eaten hot or warm for breakfast, as a snack or as part of an afternoon tea. Crumpets are always heavily buttered, and can be spread with sweet things such as marmalade or jam, or savoury things like Marmite. We usually have homemade sourdough crumpets for breakfast on the weekend, served with kippers and grilled tomato. Or maybe a poached egg.
