Sift dry ingredients and make a well in the centre, slowly add
the water to combine.
Let sit for five minutes for the yeast to activate and cook,
using egg rings as moulds on a flat grill plate, a heavy based pan
or you can do them on the BBQ flat grill outside.
Put about 2 tablespoons in each mould. Cook until bubbles form
on the top and flip over.
Serve with sweet jam or sliced tomatoes.

Naomi Ingleton, proprietor of Myrtleford Cafe and FoodWise
contributor, writes: 'Now that the mornings are sunny it is a bit
easier to get out in the garden. I work on a four-year rotation
with my planting, in four large raised beds. In the first bed I
have planted beans and peas, the second bed has onions, lettuce,
carrots, beetroot and celery. I am yet to plant the following two
beds as one will be home to corn, cucumbers and zucchini and the
other to tomatoes, capsicum and eggplant and it is still too cold.
As these grow and I harvest I will share recipes on how to get the
best out of your kitchen garden and what to do with the inevitable
glut of certain crops. Gardening and cooking are activities perfect
for children and will teach them a skill for life, lets face it we
all have to eat. Something a little different to cook with kids or
just on your own for a treat is the humble crumpet. Why make them
when they are cheap to buy you say? Because making your own is a
world of difference, its amazing how light and fluffy they are and
not at all rubbery. Perfect for brunch after a morning digging in
the veggie patch.'
