Drop Scones, Flapjacks, Crumpets or Pancakes-2

Hello, today I have a little post for you and am interest in what you call them – Drop Scones, Flapjacks, Crumpets or Pancakes? I call them Crumpets but I also know them as flapjacks 🙂 For me pancakes are definitely a very very very thin ‘cake’ and are different in texture to the ‘crumpet’.

A ‘crumpet’ is thicker than a pancake as there is the addition of baking powder in the batter and are normally made smaller than a pancake.

To get a lovely smooth mixture add some flour to the egg mixture and beat it in well, then add some milk and beat that in.  Continue alternating between the two until you have finished the ingredients.

When the ‘crumpet’ looks like this it is ready to be flipped.

It should look something like this (above photo) once you have flipped the ‘crumpet’.  The other side will be a bit lighter than this side as you will not need to cook it as much.

Here you can see the lighter colour of the other side of the ‘crumpet’.  I have not given you an exact amount of but rather an about amount of ‘crumpet’ as you may decide to make your ‘crumpets’ bigger or smaller than mine.

Once your ‘crumpets’ are cooked place some mango and passion fruit ontop and drizzle with a little of the lime and honey dressing.

You may wish to serve your ‘crumpets’ with a dollop of yoghurt on the top or if you prefer some freshly whipped cream or ice cream, I think I would go for the last option but I didn’t have any in the house.

I hope you enjoy xx
