Ingredients:

1/4 cooked mashed potato, mashed until smooth
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 or 2 pkg. yeast

1 t. salt
1 t. sugar
2 c. unsifted all purpose flour

Cooking Instructions:

Add sugar to lukewarm water. Sprinkle yeast on top. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir.

Let boiling water cool to lukewarm, add potatoes and foaming yeast liquid (amt. of yeast depends on how holey you want the crumpets).

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

Serving Suggestions:

*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.
