Asparagumpets, think I got it

Zippylip

Couple new methods today, one was a small muffin pan scorching hot (not bubba tim silicone hot, but hot), I put fried asparagus in first in a few of them, then poured the batter on top followed by the cheese, while others got the batter first then the asparagus, then cheese.

For the second batch I used a large muffin pan, batter first in all (works better), spoon full of asparagus, then cheese, indirect at about 400-450, maybe 15 minutes, absolutely divine, you get the real ‘crumpet’ browning action without having the real set-up (crumpet rings). I thought I would have liked the scallions better, but I had the asparagus on hand, it was just as good.

To make a small batch of batter (enough to do a whole small and large pan), add 6 ounces of milk & 6 ounces of water to a bowl, nuke for about a minute, then whisk in about 1 & 1/4 cups of flour & a teaspoon of yeast. This should be very thin batter. Cover for a few hours, when you return, it should be nice & bubbly, see first picture:

When you’re ready to cook, whisk in a teaspoon of salt & a ½ teaspoon of baking powder. That’s it, it’s ready to go. You can just pour this batter onto a CI pan, in crumpet rings, in muffin pans, or right on a griddle like pancakes





this is the small muffin pan, too small, too hard to work with without overflowing...







the finished product, kinda sloppy looking, but mighty fine tasting:





you can see some of the ones where I put the asparagus in first, not even sure how they held their shape:



now for the much more successful large muffin pan, much more easily controllable, filled about ½ way with batter, then the rest of the stuff:





plus, I think I had this pan a lot hotter, check out the nice browning action:





These things are delicious, easy, & very versatile, you can put whatever you want in them.. Sky is the limit

Happy Easter everyone, Marc

Zips, You're either using ingredients I can't pronounce, or you're making up names I can't pronounce. Regardless, those asparagrumpets look really good.
