- In a frying pan add 20ml oil, you will be adding the oil as is needed, making sure not to make the crumpets too oily. Drop a tablespoon of the mixture, onto the hot pan, when bubbles appear, you turn the crumpet over. Do not overcrowd the crumpets within the pan; allow enough space to turn them over.
