Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup warm milk
Butter or oil, for greasing

Directions

In a bowl, whisk together the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it’s frothy and bubbly.
Add the gluten-free flour and salt into the yeast mixture, whisking until smooth. Cover it and let it rest in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Generously grease your crumpet rings and non-stick skillet with butter or oil. Place the greased rings onto the cold skillet.
Stir the baking soda into the warm milk until dissolved. Gently whisk this mixture into your rested batter.
Heat your skillet over low-medium heat. Spoon the batter into each ring, filling them about 2/3 full. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the tops are set and bubbly with golden brown bottoms.
Carefully remove the rings, flip the crumpets, and cook for another 2-3 minutes to brown the tops.
