Notes

Make sure your batter is not too thick; it should flow easily but not be runny. If you don't have crumpet rings, use cookie cutters that are thick enough to hold the batter. Keep an eye on the heat; medium heat is ideal to cook them without burning. Experiment with flavors by adding herbs or spices to the batter.
