Yummy Pikelet Recipe - Mouths Of Mums

Mums are always on the lookout for quick, easy recipes to fill little (and some big) bellies – here is a yummy pikelet recipe from KitchenAid.

Loved by all, the perfect lunch box filler, snack or morning tea.

Makes: about 20 small pikelets

Ingredients

1 cup (150g) self raising flour
¼ cup (50g) castor sugar
1 egg
150mls milk
2 tspn white vinegar
extra butter for cooking

Method

Place the flour, sugar, egg, milk and vinegar into a mixing bowl.

Attached the turbo beaters to the hand mixer, place beaters in mixing bowl, turn to speed 2 and mix until just combined. Increase speed to speed 7 (high) and mix 20-30 seconds or until batter is smooth.

If time allows, let batter stand for 15 minutes.

Melt a teaspoon of butter in a heavy based pan, swirling to coat the bottom. Use a ladle and place batter into pan and cook gently until bubbles appear, flip and cook until golden.

Repeat with the remaining mixture in batches.

Tips

Tip 1: Standing the batter relaxes the mixture which produces a softer pikelet.

Tip 2: Best eaten on the day of cooking.

  They are so easy to make and homemade ones are cheaper and nicer than the store bought packets/bottle of pikelet mix.

My Nanna used to make pikelets, and they have always been a great family favourite. Easy to make, great warm from being cooked, or when they’re cool. Love them with jam and cream on them.

The vinegar ingredient threw me! Thought pikelets were supposed to be sweet
