Yield 25 servings
 3 c flour
 1 pk active dry yeast
 1 1/2 c warm water (110 F)
 1/2 t baking Soda
 1 c milk
 In a large bowl, combine flour and yeast. Add water; mix well.
 Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in warm place for about an
 hour, until batter has doubled in bulk and is puffy.
 Dissolve baking soda in milk and add to batter. Stir vigorously
 until batter is well mixed and runny. Beating batter encourages
 desired texture.
 Preheat griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat. Grease very
 lightly.  Grease metal rings and place them on griddle to warm.
 Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter into each ring. Reduce heat to
 low and cook gently for about 7 minutes until underside is brown
 and top is covered in bubbles.  Carefully remove rings. Set cooked
 crumpets on a rack to cool. Regrease rings and repeat.
 To serve: Toast both sides of crumpet under broiler and offer with
 butter and jam.
