Ingredients
Crumpets with rhubarb compote
- 1 1/2 cup (375ml) warm water
- 2 teaspoon (7g) dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cup (200g) gluten-free plain (all-purpose) flour
- 1/2 cup (75g) 100% corn (maize) cornflour (cornstarch)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (60ml) soy milk
- 1 tablespoon dairy-free spread
Rhubarb Compote
- 300 gram trimmed rhubarb, cut into 4cm lengths
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange rind
- 1/3 cup (80ml) orane juice
- 1/4 cup (55g) caster (superfine) sugar
Method
Crumpets with rhubarb compote
- 1Combine ¼ cup of the water and all the yeast in a small bowl. Cover; stand in a warm place for 10 minutes or until mixture is frothy.
- 2Sift flours into a medium bowl; stir in salt and sugar. Make a well in the centre; gradually whisk in the milk and the remaining water until combined. Add the yeast mixture; whisk until smooth. Cover; stand in a warm place for 30 minutes or until mixture has risen slightly.
- 3Melt dairy-free spread.
- 4Heat a large heavy-based frying pan over low heat. Brush a little of the melted spread over base of pan and around the insides of four egg rings; place rings in pan.
- 5Pour 2 tablespoons of batter into each ring; cook, uncovered, until bubbles appear and the surface is a little dry. Using egg slide, turn rings; cook for 1 minute or until crumpets are cooked through. Remove from pan; cover to keep warm. Repeat to make 16 crumpets in total, brushing pan and rings with melted spread between each batch.
- 6Meanwhile, make rhubarb compote.
- 7Serve crumpets topped with compote.
