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!
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!
