Unlike the more familiar English crumpets made with yeast, Scots crumpets are far more like rich pancakes but they are made lighter by folding beaten egg whites into the batter.
Beat together the egg yolks, sugar and milk until smooth. Gradually add the flour, working in to make a smooth batter. Now add the egg whites to a clean and dry bowl and beat until they form soft peaks.
Fold he beaten egg whites carefully into the batter mix.
Heat a griddle pan and when hot rub with a little suet. Take a tablespoon of the batter at a time and drop into the griddle. Cook for about 90 seconds, or until golden on the base then flip over and cook on the other side until golden brown.
Sprinkle a little sugar over the top and serve either hot or cold.
