Scots Crumpets (Scottish Pancakes) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 pinch salt
2 large eggs, separated into whites and yolks
2 tablespoons melted butter
15 ounces milk

Preparation

Beat the egg yolks and blend in the sifted flour, sugar, salt.
Then add in the melted butter and milk to make a thin batter about the consistency of thin cream.
Beat the egg whites to the soft peak stage and quickly add to the batter, folding in with a knife or metal spoon.
Heat a lightly greased griddle or a frying pan; pour in large spoonfuls of the batter when the pan is hot.
Each crumpet should spread thinly to about 4\" to 5\" in diameter (you may have to tilt the pan to achieve this).
When the batter is brown underneath and slightly bubbly on top, turn and cook on the other side.
Serve warm.
