Simon says ...
Shimmering means the oil is heated to a point where the surface begins to ripple but does not smoke.
If you choose to make smaller individual crumpets, the oven cooking time will be less.
This crumpet bread goes perfectly with my Mushroom Truffle Mascarpone Dip or as an accompaniment to my Truffle and Green Pea Soup.
