Here is a recipe for English pancakes, also known as crumpets.
These are small pancakes particularly appreciated in Anglo-Saxon countries, made with leavened dough. During baking, the crumpets form pretty little holes on the surface.
Crispy on the outside and soft inside, they are served hot with butter or jam, but they can also be served with a salty topping, the choice is yours!
