Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 180 milliliters Milk
- 15 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth, lump-free batter forms. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of batter per pikelet onto the pan, leaving space between each as they will spread slightly.
Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pikelets gently with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
Remove the pikelets from the pan and place them on a plate. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while cooking the remaining batter.
Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with butter, jam, honey, or your favorite toppings.
