    Ingredients

    • 1 cup flour 
    • 1 tsp fine salt 
    • ½  cup rolled oats 
    • 1 ½ tsp dried yeast 
    • ½ tsp chili flakes 
    • ½  tsp baking soda 
    • 1 ½ cups milk, lukewarm

    • 1 tbsp chopped chives 
    • 8 eggs, boiled 
    • 2 tbsp olive oil 
    • 1 large avocado, sliced 

    Instructions

    1

    Place flour, salt, oats, yeast, chili flakes, baking soda and milk in a bowl; whisk until combined. Cover; stand in a warm place for 1 hour or until bubbly and risen. 

    2

    Combine yoghurt, mustard and chives in a small bowl; season. Refrigerate until required. 

    3

    Preheat oven to 200°C. Meanwhile, cook the bacon .

    4

    Line an oven tray with foil; spray lightly with oil spray. Lay bacon on tray; brush both sides with combined honey and sriracha. Bake for 10- 20 minutes or until crisp and caramelised. 

    5

    Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over low heat. Spray inside four 7.5cm round, 2.5cm deep rings with oil spray, dust with a little extra flour, tap to remove excess; place in pan.

    Gently spoon a heaped ¼ cup crumpet mixture into each ring. Cook for 3 minutes or until bubbles appear and the surface is just set. Slide a large spatula under each crumpet and ring, and turn over. Cook for 2 minutes or until set and cooked through. Remove from pan, carefully ease off crumpet rings. Repeat in the same rings with the remaining mixture to make 8 crumpets in total.

    Serve crumpets straightaway with bacon, avocado, halved eggs and mustard yoghurt.
