Pikelets

It is very wet here today and after getting soaked with school pickup, the best thing I could think of to warm us up was a big plate of pikelets.  Just mix it up by hand with one bowl and you have enough mixture for about 20 pikelets.  If you like them sweeter, just add a little more sugar.

They are also great for the lunchbox so make a double batch and freeze some.

I encourage you to make them over the weekend,

Pikelets 

This is my grandmas's recipe for soft & fluffy pikelets. Makes approx 20.

• 2 cups self raising flour
• 3/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda 
• ¼ cup caster sugar
• 2 eggs (room temperature)
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp vinegar
• 30g butter, melted
• spray oil

1. Sift flour & bicarb of soda into a large bowl. 

2. Add sugar & stir to combine.  Add eggs.  

3. In a cup, warm milk in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add vinegar to the milk.  Then add this to the pikelet batter & whisk.

4. Add melted butter & whisk until smooth. 

5. Heat a non stick frypan over medium heat.  Spray with oil.  Spoon small amounts of batter for each pikelet into the pan.

6. Cook for 2 mins or until bubbles appear on the surface.  Flip pikelets over. Cook for a further minute or until cooked through.

7. Transfer to a plate & cover.  Repeat with remaining mixture.

Serving suggestions include maple syrup, strawberry jam & cream or lemon juice & sugar.
