Coconut crumpets with vanilla crème fraîche and salted caramel
British 15 Mins Prep · 20 Mins Cook
- Using a knife, split the vanilla bean in half then scrape out the seeds.
- In a small bowl, combine the double cream, pouring cream and vanilla seeds and sieve in the icing sugar. Stir to combine and refrigerate until needed.
- To make the crumpets, place the eggs, coconut milk, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on high until light and fluffy. Alternatively, place the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and whisk with a hand mixer.
- Sieve the flour and baking powder and gently fold in to combine.
- Melt a teaspoon of coconut oil or butter in a non-stick frying pan.
- Using a tablespoon to measure the batter, add 3-4 tablespoons of the batter to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked. Set aside and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the crumpets warm with a dollop of vanilla crème fraîche, a generous sprinkle of coconut flakes and drizzle of salted caramel.
