Toaster Biscuits
Like an English Muffin, only slightly sweeter and more airy!
Equipment
- Skillet
- Crumpet Ring
- Bowl
- Mixer or Whisk
Ingredients
- 1.5 tsp Active Dry Yeast 1 packet
- 1 tsp White Sugar
- 1 Cup Water warm, 110F
- 3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Salt
- 3/4 Cup Milk Warm, 110F
- 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 2 Tbsp Corn Meal
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. While yeast is activaing mix togther in a large bowl the flour and salt.
- Once the yeast is ready stir in the warm milk, oil, and yeast mixture into your flour. Beat well until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 60 minutes. Lightly grease or butter the inside of the crumpet rings and dip the rings in cornmeal.
- Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium-low heat. Sprinkle cornmeal on the griddle and place the Crumpet Rings on the griddle. Deflate the batter by stirring. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into each ring. Cook slowly for about 8-10 minutes or until pale brown. Carefully remove the rings and turn the biscuits over. Bake on second side about 5-8 minutes or until light brown. Transfer to a rack to cool.
- If you don't have crumpet rings, you can make crumpet rings out of aluminum foil. Cut aluminum foil into a piece that is about 5" wide, and the length of your roll. Fold in half lengthwise and then in half again; can fold it one more time for something studier and shorter. Form into a circle that is about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and slide the ends through each other to close the circle. If desired you could add a small piece of tape.
