Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, sift together self-raising flour and baking powder.
- Stir in the sugar, mixing well to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg.
- Gradually add the milk to the beaten egg, mixing until well combined.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Slowly pour the milk and egg mixture into the well, stirring gently.
- Continue stirring until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Avoid overmixing.
- Lightly grease a non-stick skillet or griddle with oil or butter.
- Preheat over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Pour small amounts of batter (about 2 tablespoons per pikelet) onto the skillet.
- Shape the batter into letters if desired, using a piping bag or squeeze bottle for precision.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pikelet and the edges begin to set, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pikelets using a spatula.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove pikelets from the skillet and transfer to a plate.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, honey, or fresh fruit.
Tips:
- Ensure that your flour is sifted to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the pikelets from sticking during cooking.
- Cook the pikelets on medium-low heat to avoid burning and ensure they cook through evenly.
- Use a tablespoon or squeeze bottle to create fun alphabet shapes or other designs.
- Serve the pikelets warm with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, or fresh fruit.
