Perfect for making when you have too much Mother
Ingredients
This is a fantastic recipe for using up your 'Mother' if you have too much and can't bear, like me to possibly throw it away. I prefer to make these into pikelets as opposed to crumpets as I can not get the crumpets to come out of the rings. I like to call them free form crumpets. I have tried oiling the rings really well and pre heating them but to no avail. I have googled this problem and found the only solutions to be none stick crumpet rings or silicon egg rings ( I personally find the latter too shallow). For now I'll stick with my free form crumpets.

Unfortunately I find these entirely inedible,I’m not sure what’s worse...the taste of left over starter or the bicarb.

ReplyMade these this morning with, I have to admit, moderate expectation. I am so glad I as they were delicious,so easy and a great way to use up what you discard when refreshing your sourdough starter. I did them in the free-form pikelet style in a dry heavy bottomed frying pan. As for your comment about left over crumpets being great toasted, I'll just have to take your word it.

The Shipton Millers
Made them this morning and although they were cooked, I found them a little doughy, cluggy. Will try them again, making the batter a little bit thinner. I use 100% starter. I use silicone rings, spray them with oil and have no problems getting the crumpets out.
