King Prawn Crumpet with Marie Rose Sauce
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Ingredients
- Oil spray, for greasing
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 25 g unsalted butter
- 12 cooked large king prawns, peeled and diced
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- Caviar or salmon roe, to serve (optional)
- 75 g Kewpie mayonnaise
- 40 g Greek-style yoghurt
- 4 confit garlic cloves, mashed to a paste
- ½ tsp sweet chilli sauce
- ¼ tsp Tabasco
- Zest of 1 lime
- 200 g self-raising flour
- 10 g brown sugar
- 7 g dried yeast
- 3 eggs
- ½ tsp fine salt
- 90 ml water
Steps
- Combine mayonnaise, yoghurt, confit garlic, sweet chilli sauce, Tabasco and lime zest in a bowl. Season to taste and refrigerate until needed (this is the Marie Rose sauce).
- Place self-raising flour, brown sugar, dried yeast and salt in a mixer bowl and combine on low speed.
- Whisk eggs and water together, then add to the dry ingredients. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes to form a batter.
- Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a 1cm round nozzle.
- Grease a 24-hole mini muffin pan with oil spray. Pipe batter into the moulds, filling about halfway.
- Cover with a damp tea towel and leave in a warm place until doubled in size, about 35-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 100°C. Place a deep roasting pan half-filled with boiling water on the bottom shelf of the oven.
- Steam the crumpets in the oven until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Unmould the crumpets and refrigerate until completely chilled. Trim the tops to neaten.
- Combine diced prawns, Marie Rose sauce, lemon zest and parsley in a bowl. Season to taste and refrigerate until needed.
- Heat half the butter and oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once foaming, add half the crumpets and cook until golden, about 1 minute per side.
- Transfer cooked crumpets to a paper towel-lined tray to drain. Repeat with remaining butter, oil and crumpets.
- Arrange crumpets on a serving platter, top with the prawn mixture and caviar, and serve.
Notes
Confit garlic cloves are garlic slowly cooked in oil until soft; if unavailable, roasted garlic can be substituted.
