all-purpose flour

ml

Flora Plant unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Dissolve the yeast into the warm water in a small bowl.
Step 2
In a large bowl, sieve the flour. Add fleur de sel, water and whisk for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add yeast mixture, sugar and baking powder. Whisk for another minute.
Step 4
Cover with a towel and grow for 30 minutes in a warm spot (I’m using the oven with the light on). The surface will get foamy.
Step 5
Melt some butter (find out about Flora Plant) in a non-stick skillet or frying pan and grease some rings with butter. On medium heat, pour in the batter (approx 1cm thick).
Step 6
Flip after about 1mn30 when each crumpet has risen and forms bigs bubble. Fry for another minute, then fully cool before eating.
