Grandma's Perfect Pan-Fried Donuts

Light, airy, tasty, simple — such crumpets from grandma. Yes, they are light in the literal sense of the word. Airy, because itʼs just like fluff. Delicious because the recipe is superb. Well, simple ones, because... there is nothing complicated in the process. If crumpets are prepared with a lot of sugar, then they can be an excellent alternative to any store-bought baked goods and other flour products. Serve with tea or compote. And so, without anything or with jam, sour cream, condensed milk — it’s delicious! And if you make it without sugar, then such a crumpet will go with a bang during any meal, on a trip, on an outing and during a lunch break at work.
