Real crumpets are amazing! Used instead of an English muffin as the foundation of eggs Benedict, or simply toasted and spread liberally with butter that melts and dribbles down your fingers and served with a steaming mug of tea, they are “the business”.

I have History with crumpets. I can cook almost everything else. I have sourdough discard every week. All The Other Cooks seem to knock off a spectacular batch of crumpets. But for me - 3 fails out of 3 from different recipes. I did everything by the recipe here but still ended up with doughy discs with very few holes. Crumpets without holes are as useful as teats on a bull. I expect it is some variation of user error rather than the recipe. But I really, really wish I could master this.
How strange - I tried this recipe a while back (during my sourdough phase) and it worked really nicely - lots of lovely holes. I wonder what the issue is…
I'm sorry that this recipe hasn't worked out for you yet. As long as your sourdough starter has been refreshed and very active when you've used it, I'm not sure why you haven't got the results that the recipe's author (and I) have. I know you are aiming for crumpets, but if it doesn't turn out as expected next time, the batter can still be used to make pancakes.
