    To make crumpets, lightly grease English muffin rings (1" high and 4" across) and place on the griddle. Scoop the batter into the rings, filling them about 1/4" deep. Cook over low heat until the tops are set and full of small holes. Remove the rings and flip the crumpets over for a minute or two.
