Whole Wheat Crumpets With Mock Clotted Cream Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, yeast and honey. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until the mixture becomes foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk in the warm water, both flours, salt and baking powder until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about one hour.
• To prepare the mock clotted cream, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mascarpone and cream until thick and stiff. Chill until ready to serve.
• To prepare the crumpets, set a griddle over medium-low heat and oil it. To make flat, pancakelike crumpets, spoon the batter onto the griddle and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side and 1 to 2 minutes on the other. To make the crumpets using English-muffin rings or cookie cutters, oil them liberally and place on the skillet. Spoon in batter 1/4-inch high. Let the crumpets cook until dry around the edges and bubbles have formed over the surface, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the rings and wipe clean. Turn crumpets over and cook until lightly browned, another 2 to 3 minutes. Re-oil the griddle and each ring before making another batch.

Steps:

• Using a whisk attachment on the mixer, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Remove from mixer, and hand whisk in the sour cream and confectioners' sugar until just combined. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175 to 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
• Pour cream into shallow glass or ceramic baking dish (an 8- or 9-inch square pan is ideal). Cream should be about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep.
• Place dish in preheated oven. Bake 12 hours. Do not stir. Carefully remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or until completely chilled.
• Turn over a corner of the top layer of thickened cream; carefully pour liquid underneath into a container to use for baking.
• Pack the thickened (clotted) cream into a ceramic crock or canning jar. Cover and refrigerate up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Allow cream cheese to warm to a spreadable consistency.
• Combine cream cheese and margarine together in a bowl until well blended.
• Work the whipped topping into the mixture.
• Spread on scones, or other items.

Steps:

• Fill a deep, wide-mouthed bowl with the cream and the milk.
• Leave the mixture in the refrigerator for several hours (preferably overnight).
• Heat the oven to 180 degrees F.
• Boil several cups of water and pour it into a pan large enough to accomodate the bowl of milk.
• Place the pan into the pre-heated oven.
• Set the bowl of milk into the pan of water in the oven and leave until the top of the milk is crusted with a nubbly yellowish-cream surface.
• (This will take at least 1 1/2 hours, but it is prudent to allow longer since this process varies depending on the fat content of the milk and cream).
• Once the surface is nicely crusted, remove the bowl from the pan and cool it rapidly in a bowl of ice water.
• Place the cooled bowl in the refrigerator until very cold.
• Remove the crust from the cream with a skimmer or a large slotted spoon and put it into another bowl with a bit of the creamy liquid underneath; as the clotted cream firms up you will need to stir in the liquid to achieve a nice consistency.
• Put the milk bowl back into the pan of water in the oven for a second crust to form, and add that in its turn to the first one.
• Note: The left over milk is great to make rice pudding, or can be used in baking.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease two baking sheets with 1 tablespoon of oil. Set aside. Combine flour, ground cumin, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside. Lightly beat the remaining vegetable oil, milk and eggs.
• Mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Beat until smooth. Sprinkle a flat surface with flour. Knead the dough until smooth and loose. Cut into 48 balls. Roll out each ball until it is as thin as possible.
• Place the crackers on the baking sheets. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from sheet to a rack and cool.

Steps:

• Mix 3/4 cup flour in bowl with yeast and warm water. Blend until smooth, cover and leave until frothy, about 20 minutes.
• Gradually stir other ingredients, beating until smooth. You should have a mixture like pancakes, or just a bit thicker. Add flour or water as necessary.
• Heat a non-stick surface to med/med-high and put non-stick egg rings on surface to heat thoroughly.
• Pour batter into rings, so it's about 1/2 in deep. Cook until dry on top, about 10 minutes.
• Remove rings and turn crumpet over to brown on top. Cool on wire rack.
