Method
1
To begin, add the agave and vanilla to the warmed milk. Tip in the yeast, stir well and leave for 5 minutes
- 500ml of milk, slightly warmed
- 2 tbsp of agave syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 7g of fast-action dried yeast
2
Sieve the flours together
- 200g of strong white flour
- 100g of plain flour
3
Pour the milk mixture into the Vitamix container, add the flour and blend on Variable 2 until well-combined
4
Transfer to a large bowl and stir through to make sure all the flour is incorporated. Cover with cling film and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes
5
After 30 minutes, the crumpet batter will have risen and will be quite bubbly. Mix the bicarbonate of soda with the warm water, pour into the crumpet batter and stir. Cover again and leave for a further 20 minutes
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tbsp of warm water
6
Melt a little butter (or use sunflower oil) and using kitchen paper, wipe a little butter or oil over a large frying pan over a low heat. Grease the inside of the rings well, place the crumpet rings in the pan and pour in a ladle of batter. Cook for 5 minutes – bubbles should start to form and then pop. Carefully flip the crumpets over in their rings and cook for a further 2–3 minutes
