Pikelets

Ingredients

• 1 cup (150gms) self raising flour
• 2 tablespoons (30gms) white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup (185mls) milk
• butter for cooking

Instructions

1. 1

   Sift the flour, sugar and baking powder. Add the salt and mix well.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl add the milk to the egg and whisk together.

3. 3

   Heat up the frying pan. Add a little butter, then wipe carefully with a paper towel, taking care not to burn yourself.

4. 4

   Add a little more butter.

5. 5

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

   Cook on one side until the pikelets are bubbling and starting to firm up around the edges.

8. 8

   Flip over with an egg flip and cook on the other side until just golden brown.

9. 9

   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!
