Tips:

- For a smoother texture, finely chop the dried apricots or soak them in hot water for a few minutes before adding them to the batter.

- Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk to ensure a smooth and consistent batter.

- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before using.

- Cook the pikelets on medium heat to avoid burning them while ensuring they cook through evenly.

- Use a non-stick pan or lightly greased skillet to prevent the pikelets from sticking.
