Pikelets are a delightful treat that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. They are similar to pancakes but smaller and slightly thicker, making them perfect for a quick snack or a dessert. This recipe is simple to follow and uses basic ingredients that you might already have in your kitchen. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sugar. Stir well to ensure they're evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl or a measuring jug, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until well blended.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the milk, vanilla, and egg mixture into the well.
- Gradually stir the wet and dry ingredients together using a wooden spoon or a whisk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. If the batter seems too thick, add a little more milk until the desired consistency is reached.
- Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. You can test if it's ready by sprinkling a few drops of water onto the surface; if they sizzle and evaporate quickly, the pan is hot enough.
4. Cook the Pikelets:
- Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or oil.
- Spoon tablespoon-sized amounts of batter onto the hot pan. Leave enough space between each pikelet as they will spread slightly.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 1-2 minutes. Flip the pikelets and cook on the other side until golden brown, approximately another 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked pikelets to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure your cooking pan is adequately heated before adding the batter to achieve evenly cooked pikelets.
- You can add a tablespoon of melted butter to the batter for a richer flavor.
- To achieve the perfect consistency, the batter should be thick but pourable. Add a little extra milk if it's too thick or a bit more flour if it's too runny.
- Use a ladle or a small measuring cup to pour out the batter to ensure all pikelets are the same size.
- Wait until you see bubbles forming on the surface before flipping the pikelets to cook the other side.
There you have it! Delicious and fluffy pikelets that are ready to be enjoyed. Whether you serve them with your favorite jam, some whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup, they're sure to be a hit. Happy cooking!
