These savory pikelets are packed with the goodness of vegetables and the rich taste of cheddar cheese, making them a favorite for both kids and adults. They're easy to prepare with just a few simple ingredients and can be whipped up in no time.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside.
- Finely chop the red pepper and scallions.
- Lightly beat the two eggs.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, and beaten eggs. Stir until well combined.
- Add the all-purpose flour to the mixture and mix until smooth.
- Fold in the chopped red pepper and scallions. Ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil if needed.
- Once the pan is heated, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the skillet to form small pikelets. You can use about 2 tablespoons of batter per pikelet.
- Cook each pikelet for about 2-3 minutes on one side or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
- Flip the pikelets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pikelets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
- Serve the pikelets warm, as a snack or appetizer. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Tips:
- Finely chop the red pepper and scallions to ensure they cook evenly within the pikelets.
- Use a non-stick skillet or lightly grease the pan to prevent the pikelets from sticking.
- Cook the pikelets over medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
- Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like grated zucchini or carrots for added nutrition.
