Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Wholemeal self-raising flour
- 0.25 cup Wheat bran
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholemeal self-raising flour, wheat bran, brown sugar, and baking powder. Mix well to incorporate all the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spoon or spatula. Do not overmix—stop as soon as the batter is combined and free of large lumps.
Melt the butter and stir it into the batter until fully incorporated.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a little butter or cooking spray.
Using a tablespoon or small ladle, scoop batter onto the heated pan to form small pikelets approximately 2–3 inches in diameter. Allow space between pikelets for easy flipping.
Cook for about 1–2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip each pikelet with a spatula and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pikelets to a plate and keep warm under a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve warm with butter, honey, jam, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
