Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.75 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cup zucchini (grated and squeezed to remove excess moisture)
- 0.5 cup carrot (grated)
- 2 stalks green onion (finely sliced)
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the grated cheddar cheese, zucchini, carrot, and green onion, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the batter onto the skillet for each pikelet, leaving enough space between them for spreading.
Cook the pikelets for 1–2 minutes or until bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges begin to set.
Flip the pikelets carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pikelets to a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to keep warm while cooking the remaining batches.
Serve the pikelets warm with your choice of dips, sauces, or a simple dollop of sour cream.
