Apricot pikelets

Apricot pikelets are a delightful treat that brings together the subtle sweetness of dried apricots with the light and fluffy texture of pikelets. These small, thick pancakes are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a light snack. With simple ingredients and a straightforward preparation process, you can easily whip up a batch of these delicious pikelets in no time. Let's get started on making these scrumptious apricot pikelets!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup dried apricots
72g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 tbsp sugar
16g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup buttermilk
120g
2 tbsp butter
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apricots:
- Chop the dried apricots into small pieces. If they are particularly dry, you can soak them in a little warm water for 5-10 minutes to soften, then drain well.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the baking soda and sugar.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Add in the buttermilk and the melted butter, whisking until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredient mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure the pikelets remain light and fluffy.
5. Add Apricots:
- Gently fold the chopped dried apricots into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
6. Cook the Pikelets:
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or a non-stick spray.
- Drop tablespoons of the batter onto the hot pan, spacing them well apart. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and the underside is golden brown.
- Flip the pikelets and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is also golden brown and the pikelets are cooked through.
7. Serve:
- Serve the apricot pikelets warm with a spread of butter, honey, or your favorite preserve. They also pair well with yogurt or cream for a delightful treat.

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.

Making apricot pikelets is a simple yet rewarding culinary activity that results in a batch of tender, flavorful mini pancakes. The combination of dried apricots and the fluffy pikelet batter creates an irresistible treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you serve them with a dollop of cream, a drizzle of honey, or simply on their own, these apricot pikelets are sure to be a hit. Happy cooking!
