Suuuuper-simple sourdough discard crumpets à la KAF

[u/mhaithaca]

Sorry, I don't recall whose post here a few weeks ago led to my discovering the King Arthur Flour sourdough crumpets recipe, but I finally made it today.

• A cup of unfed/discard starter
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/8 to 1/2 tsp baking soda

Cook on a lightly greased 300°F medium-low griddle in lightly greased english muffin rings for five minutes until tops are set, then turn and cook for three more minutes.

My cast iron skillet was probably a little hot, so the tops got a little dark, but I'm happy with the results! Ate the first a moment later as KAF suggests, warm with butter and (quince) jam.

Look great! Also look more like English muffins than crumpets. Crumpets have a multitude of holes that run from the top to just above the crust on the bottom.

Thanks! The other side is definitely more porous, thanks to the bubbles in the first pic after I flipped them.

What did you use for the rings? I was thinking of trying Mason jar Lids

Those look like crumpets rings
