TBB: Crumpets (p. 433)

Weather has been very very hot lately.. it's getting hotter year by year. So I didn't feel like making these either.. I don't feel like standing by the stove actually...but I didn't have a electric griddle..so no choice.  

Here is the bubbly batter next to the pineapple and pomelo.

I took whatever ring I had.. I think it was too high..but I really can't be bothered to go searching for the other rings.. too hot and humid to want to do that..

Almost ready...  this is the last crumpet that looks decent enough..the rest I either burnt them or flipped them too soon and they lost all the bubbles.. 

You can see from the top, the first batch no bubbles...cos not enough heat. I find that the fire cannot be too low.

Then the 2nd row..the fire too big..and burnt the crumpets..

and the last row..just right.. but I ran out of batter.....

After that I was the only one who tried it plain as I was rushing out of the house almost immediately after making them... Nobody wants to eat them.. I think they are still in the fridge after 3 days...untouched..    Flavor wise is quite nice actually...chewy..  

Ebelskivers

My latest craze - Ebelskivers! Danish-styled filled pancakes! What's not to like?  

Last week, I finally bought the Ebelskivers book and pan!  I have been thinking about it for about 6 months or not longer if i should buy the book or not. The pan is not exactly cheap compared to how much it is sold in US. I've seen it in the bookstore (only 1 book) for the longest time and yet nobody has bought it. Finally, I caved in and bought it because Kinokuniya was having a 20% storewide discount..LOL!  

My first try at making Ebelsivers! So much fun!  Ok..i did fumble a bit when turning the pancakes the first time, but after a few more tries, it was much easier.  The trick is not to turn the fire up too high!  

Ebelskivers with Blueberry filling. So yummy! It's actually very light and not sweet. So even after dusting icing sugar on top, i think i could do with some maple syrup or honey.  (I have a sweet-tooth!  If i have a choice, i would eat dessert for every meal... :p)

Just thought it was a pretty decent photo taken with iPhone so i had to post it up here too..LOL!
