Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable; avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy pikelets.
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to lightly grease the surface.
Using a tablespoon or small ladle, drop spoonfuls of batter onto the skillet, spacing them about an inch apart. Each pikelet should be about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, about 1-2 minutes. Flip the pikelets carefully with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, about another 1-2 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as butter, jam, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
