Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or extra butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and caster sugar. Stir to evenly incorporate the dry ingredients.
Crack the egg into the bowl and pour in the milk. Whisk the mixture together until it forms a smooth, lump-free batter.
Melt the teaspoon of butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly. Stir the melted butter into the batter.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
Drop tablespoon-sized amounts of batter onto the pan, ensuring enough space between each to allow spreading.
Cook the pikelets for about 1–2 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the cooked pikelets from the pan and place them on a plate lined with a clean tea towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the pikelets warm with your favorite toppings such as butter, jam, honey, or even a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
