Sourdough Crumpets

Directions

1. 1
   Measure out 1 cup of sourdough discard into a small pitcher or bowl (a pitcher makes it easier to pour the batter).
2. 2
   Mix in sugar and salt.
3. 3
   Grease a skillet and heat over medium-low burner. About the same heat you use for pancakes. Place thoroughly greased rings or cans in skillet.
4. 4
   When skillet is hot, stir in baking soda and immediately pour 1/4 inch of batter into each ring.
5. 5
   Cook until edges appear dry and bubbles have formed.
6. 6
   Remove rings with pliers or tongs and, if desired, flip crumpets and cook for an additional 30 seconds or so.
7. 7
   Stir batter before pouring the next round. You'll need to re-grease your rings and skillet if you do more than two rounds of crumpets (depending on how many rings you have and how quickly you use up the batter).
8. 8
   Enjoy hot with butter and/or jam. Leftovers are good toasted.
