Pikelets
These pikelets or baby pancakes are a quick and easy Aussie treat. They are great for both kids or adults and make versatile snack, breakfast or even lunch!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (150gms) self raising flour
- 2 tablespoons (30gms) white sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup (185mls) milk
- butter for cooking
Instructions
- Sift the flour, sugar and baking powder. Add the salt and mix well.
- In a separate bowl add the milk to the egg and whisk together.
- Heat up the frying pan. Add a little butter, then wipe carefully with a paper towel, taking care not to burn yourself.
- Add a little more butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth
- Ladle the pikelet mix into the hot frying pan. I use about half a ladle per pikelet and can fit three to four pikelets into a frying pan. You can make them smaller if you prefer.
- Cook on one side until the pikelets are bubbling and starting to firm up around the edges.
- Flip over with an egg flip and cook on the other side until just golden brown.
- Remove from frying pan and repeat until all the pikelet mix is cooked.
- Pop onto a plate and serve with you favorite toppings. Jam and cream is traditional but they are also fabulous with lemon and sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup or just as they are. Delicious!
