I've had this crumpet recipe for years, but I'm juggling dough and poultry here. I wanted to make crumpets for breakfast, then have a kolache-making party while the turkey bakes. So, I set up the kolache dough in the bread machine, then used my own hands for the crumpets. I should have been able to handle it. I also should have made a double batch, with 5 hungry people in the house. When I went to make a second batch of crumpets, I used the "1-1/4 cup" measurement of water for the kolaches, instead of the "1/4 cup" that the crumpet recipe called for.
I added more sugar, flour, some vanilla, salt, and two egg yolks, covered My Big Yellow Bowl (MBYB) with Saran Wrap, and stuck it into a warm oven to rise. Fifteen minutes in, I'm afraid to look. I'm great at culinary improvisation, but when you're dealing with yeast, I'm not quite as confident. I usually just use the bread machine.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
