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:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes. This step is optional, but it can help the pikelets become fluffier.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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!
