Gluten-free pikelets

Gluten-free pikelets are a delightful and easy-to-make treat, perfect for breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack. The recipe uses simple and accessible ingredients to create fluffy and delicious pikelets that everyone will love, regardless of their dietary preferences. Follow this guide to whip up some mouth-watering gluten-free pikelets in no time.

Ingredients:

1 cup self-raising flour
150g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 eggs
100g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of gluten-free self-raising flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
2. Incorporate Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl or jug, lightly beat the 2 eggs together.
- Add the 3/4 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the beaten eggs and mix well.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients.
- Gradually stir the mixture with a whisk or spoon until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
4. Rest the Batter (Optional):
- Let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes. This step is optional, but it can help the pikelets become fluffier.
5. Cook the Pikelets:
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or oil.
- Using a spoon or a small ladle, pour small portions of batter onto the pan to form pikelets (about 2-3 inches in diameter).
6. Flip the Pikelets:
- Cook until bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set (approximately 1-2 minutes).
- Gently flip the pikelets with a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Serve:
- Serve the pikelets warm with your favorite toppings such as butter, jam, honey, or maple syrup.

Tips:

- Ensure your flour is truly gluten-free by checking the label for cross-contamination warnings.

- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the ingredients to meld properly.

- Use a non-stick pan or griddle to cook the pikelets evenly and prevent them from sticking.

- Cook the pikelets on low to medium heat to prevent them from burning before they're fully cooked through.

- Experiment with mix-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon to add extra flavor.

These gluten-free pikelets are sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Not only are they quick and easy to prepare, but their fluffy texture and delightful taste make them a favorite for both kids and adults. Remember to get creative with toppings and mix-ins to make your pikelets truly unique. Enjoy!
