Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Gather all your ingredients and equipment: mixing bowl, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, and a frying pan or griddle.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sugar. Stir well to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed.
- Crack the egg into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Melt the butter gently (you can do this in a microwave or in a small saucepan over low heat) and add it to the bowl.
- Whisk the mixture until you have a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps. It should be thick but pourable.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. If necessary, lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or oil.
- Once the pan is hot, pour small circles of batter onto the pan (about 2-3 tablespoons per pikelet). Leave enough space between each one to allow for spreading.
- Cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges begin to look set.
- Carefully flip the pikelets with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pikelets from the pan and place them on a plate.
- Serve warm with your favorite fruity toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a dollop of fruit compote. You can also add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.
- Enjoy your homemade fruity pikelets as a delicious breakfast, brunch, or snack!
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Always use fresh self-raising flour and fresh milk to ensure the pikelets rise well and have the best texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Gently mix the ingredients until they are just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough pikelets.
- Cook on medium heat: Cooking the pikelets on medium heat ensures that they cook evenly without burning on the outside while remaining raw inside.
- Use a non-stick pan: A non-stick pan or griddle makes it easier to cook pikelets without them sticking, ensuring a perfect golden-brown finish.
- Add fruit toppings: For an extra fruity twist, add sliced bananas, strawberries, or blueberries on top of the batter once you’ve poured it into the pan.
Fruity pikelets are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by everyone. With their quick preparation time and easy-to-follow recipe, they are perfect for a spontaneous snack or a planned breakfast spread. Don’t forget to experiment with your favorite fruits and toppings to make them uniquely yours. Happy cooking!
