Method

Sift flour and bi-carb into large bowl. Add sugar, salt and cinnamon.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla and vinegar.
combine the wet and dry ingredients. While whisking, gradually add the milk mix to the flour and stir until it just comes together.
Heat a large non stick pan on a medium heat and add a small amount of butter so it melts and covers the pan.
Using a large dessert spoon, add the pikelet mix to the pan. Top with 3 blueberries and cook the pikelets until you can see bubbles appear and then flip and cook on the other side for 30 seconds.
Transfer to a plate and continue to cook pikelets adding more butter to the pan as you go.

I am curious to try this, it is certainly a different recipe. I am assuming the vinegar is meant to have the same effect as adding vinegar to milk to create a buttermilk alternative.

A stack of pikelets is a very welcome afternoon treat. Blueberries make this recipe even better.

  I love to dust my pikelets with icing sugar too – they just complete a stack of pikelets.
