Perfect for breakfast or brunch, these fluffy treats are infused with the natural sweetness of coconut, making them a unique and tasty variation on traditional pikelets.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup coconut meat
50g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1 tbsp sugar
16g
1 cup milk (1% fat)
240g
2 eggs
100g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by measuring out all your ingredients accurately.
- If you are using fresh coconut meat, finely chop or grate it to the desired texture.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sugar. Mix well to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined.
- Add the milk to the beaten eggs and stir until thoroughly mixed.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Make a well in the center of the flour and sugar mixture.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture into the well, gradually mixing the dry ingredients into the wet ones to prevent lumps from forming.
5. Incorporate the Coconut:
- Gently fold in the coconut meat until it is evenly distributed throughout the batter. The batter should be smooth but slightly thick.
6. Heat the Pan:
- Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. If necessary, lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
7. Cook the Pikelets:
- For each pikelet, pour about 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the hot pan. You can use a ladle or spoon for this.
- Allow the pikelets to cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pikelets and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat until all the batter is used up, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
8. Serve Your Pikelets:
- Once cooked, transfer the pikelets to a plate and keep them warm with a clean kitchen towel.
- Serve them warm with your favorite toppings such as butter, honey, syrup, or fresh fruit.

Tips:

- Ensure your coconut meat is finely shredded or grated for an even texture.

- For an extra burst of flavor, consider toasting the coconut meat lightly before adding it to the mixture.

- Use a non-stick pan to avoid pikelets from sticking and to make flipping easier.

- Cook on a medium heat to ensure they cook evenly without burning.

- If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.

- Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup, honey, or a dollop of yogurt for an added touch of sweetness.

With their delightful coconut flavor and fluffy texture, these coconut pikelets are sure to become a breakfast favorite. Easy to prepare and delicious to eat, this recipe brings a taste of the tropics to your table. Enjoy these pikelets on their own or with your favorite toppings for a delicious and satisfying meal.
