How to Make Currant And Tea Crumpets

  1. In a small bowl, combine the cooled strong tea and currants. Let stand for at least 15 minutes, or until the currants are plump and the tea has cooled completely.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour and sugar. Make a well in the center.
  3. Add the steeped tea and currant mixture and the egg to the well.
  4. Gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Lightly grease a frying pan or griddle with butter over medium heat.
  6. Once the pan is hot, spoon 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the hot surface, leaving space between each crumpet.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Bubbles will appear on the surface when they are ready to flip.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, jam, or lemon curd.
