You will need:

  • 175g sourdough starter (around 70% hydration)

  • 200g bread flour

  • 200ml milk

  • 100ml filtered water

  • Pinch of salt

  • Pinch of sugar

  • Splash of apple cider vinegar

  • 1/2tsp bicarb soda

How to make:


Warm the milk and water until tepid. Pour over the starter, mix in with hand, add flour,  and mix until the flour is incorporated. Cover with a cloth and leave on the bench until morning. 6 - 8 hours does the trick, any longer keep in fridge.


In the morning, fold in salt, sugar, bicarb and apple cider vinegar, and leave for 15 mins whilst you brush your teeth, make a cuppa or pick up Lego.


Foam up some butter in a pan, pour in the crumpet mixture and cook mostly on one side until golden. Finish on the other for a minute or two.


Serve with, honey, figs, ricotta, bacon and poached eggs, strawberry jam and butter! Or whatever takes your fancy.
