  Mix 1 cup of the warm milk, and all the sugar into a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top of the warm milk and let set for 10 minutes. While you are waiting,mix flour,salt,and baking soda in a medium size bowl. Add the yeast mixture and the remaing 1-1/2 cups of the warm milk to the flour mixture and stir to combine. This will be a thick liquid. Cover the bowl and put in a warm place for about 1 hour.

  Heat a non-stick skillet or a griddle to a med-low heat. Butter the insides of your crumpet rings and place them on the skillet. Fill up each crumpet ring only 1/2 way up. COOK. After about 3-4 minutes you should be able to remove the rings with metal tongs. Leaving crumpets in the skillet. If you wait longer the crumpets will stick & cling to the rings. After about 4-5 minutes, when the tops have hardened a bit...it is time to flip them over and cook them another minute. The crumpets will have bubbles forming on top. Picture #2 is the tuna can rings I tried to use for crumpets. This was a wrong decision..putting the batter, 1/2 way up the tuna fish rings made them to thick and the insides did not cook. When I tried to remove the rings, all the dough stuck to the rings. End result. I will buy crumpet rings,or have crumpet pancakes! Oh well...live and learn....LOL !! Nancy...3/14/13

  You can serve them immediatly, with jam,honey,or butter. Or cool for later and toast before serving. Picture #3 is my attempt of crumpets cooked with-out the metal rings. They still tast good..but not a perfect circle.
