Stir; add flour, and salt and beat 2 minutes.
Let rise 3 times for 30 minutes each rising
Beat again for 3 minutes. This beating makes large holes characteristic of crumpets.
After the last beating bake at once.
Have a hot greased griddle ready with greased rings (or sprayed).
Pour batter in to 1/3" depth.
Bake at 300? about 20 to 25 minutes. They can be turned to brown but the English say never turn a crumpet

*jar rings or tuna cans with top and bottom removed make good rings if you do not have a crumpet pan and rings.
Serve with a wonderful cup of quality tea.
