sourdough discard recipe Golden Crumpets with Pink Salt
- Total Time: 43 minutes
- Yield: 10 crumpets 1x
- Diet: General (with Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free options)
Description
These sourdough discard Golden Crumpets with Pink Salt transform your extra starter into a satisfying meal. They are golden-crisp outside and tender-airy inside, perfect for busy families.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough discard, active or fed (100% hydration)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon pink salt, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 to 2 tablespoons butter or oil, for greasing
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine sourdough discard, milk, all-purpose flour, sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon pink salt. Gently mix until just combined and mostly smooth (a few small lumps are fine).
- Rest Batter: Cover the bowl loosely with a clean towel and let the batter rest at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Prepare Griddle: Preheat a non-stick griddle or 10-inch cast iron pan over medium-low heat (around 300°F/150°C). Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
- Cook Crumpets: Pour 0.25 cup of batter per crumpet into crumpet rings (if using) or freehand circles onto the griddle, allowing space between them.
- First Side Cook: Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until many bubbles appear and burst on the surface, and the edges look set and dry to the touch.
- Second Side Cook: Carefully flip each crumpet and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until deeply golden brown on the other side.
- Serve with Salt: Immediately after cooking, sprinkle a tiny bit more pink salt on the crumpets for extra flavor.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Oat milk can be used for a dairy-free swap. Ensure baking soda is fresh for optimal lift and holes. If crumpets are too dense, add a tablespoon more milk. If lacking holes, check baking soda freshness and griddle heat. Reduce heat if crumpets are burning.
