Great for School Lunches or a Breakfast Treat


Ingredients (makes 24 Pikelets)

  • 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour, sifted
  • 2 tbs caster sugar
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 300ml buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup apple puree
  • 20g butter, melted

Method

  1. Combine flour and sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the centre. Whisk egg and buttermilk together in a jug. Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Whisk until smooth. Stir in puree
  2. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Brush base with butter. Using tablespoons of batter at a time, cook in batches for 2 to 3 minutes or until small bubbles start to form on the surface of pikelets. Carefully turn over. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container

  • Love the idea of adding apple – I make simple pikelets for my eldest for school and freeze them. Next batch I will try adding apple purée. Thank you for sharing!

  • I’ve made banana pancakes so many times but never apple. I’m very curious to try these and see how my toddler likes them for something abit different.

  • Just made my kids apple sweet potato pancakes. I just cook the sweet potato and apple till soft. Blend it with the liquid, add eggs, lentil flour, pinch of salt, baking powder, raw vanilla powder, cinnamon and almond milk. No sugar and no refined plain flour, so a bit healthier for breakfast or lunchboxes. My kids love it.

  • As I generally find pureed fruit sweet I’d probably omit the small amount of caster sugar mentioned here, thanks for sharing.
