    This easy Pikelet Recipe (or mini pancakes) make a great breakfast or snack for the family.

    Easy Pikelet Recipe

    These soft and fluffy Pikelets really are the ultimate way to start your day. They take no time at all to put together (important when you have hangry kids!) and a batch will go a long way.

    How to Make my Easy Pikelet Recipe:

    Firstly, you will need to gather the following ingredients:

    • Self-raising flour
    • Caster Sugar
    • Milk
    • Egg
    • Salt
    • Butter

    Then, it is simply a matter of melting the butter and combining it with the rest of the ingredients. You then pour a little mixture into your frying pan and cook until bubbles begin to appear – too easy!

    What to Serve With Pikelets

    The boys covered their Pikelets with a VERY thick layer of Raspberry Jam,, however we also enjoy the following toppings:

    • Lemon and sugar
    • Apricot Jam
    • Nutella
    • Maple Syrup 
    • Fresh Fruit

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Can I use Plain Flour to make Pikelets?

    Yes you can. You will need to add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the mixture

    Do I need to use Buttermilk to make Fluffy Pikelets?

    To be honest I rarely use Buttermilk to make this recipe and still find the pikelets to be soft and fluffy. However you can use Buttermilk in place of regular milk if you wish for an even softer result.

    Can these Pikelets be frozen?

    Yes you can freeze cooked pikelets – this makes them a great lunch box snack!

    • Frying Pan

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 & ¼ cup self raising flour 190 grams
    • 2 tablespoons caster sugar
    • 200 ml milk 180 grams
    • 60 grams butter melted
    • 1 egg
    • pinch salt
    • butter extra to grease frying pan

    Instructions
     

    • Sift the self raising flour into a bowl and stir through the caster sugar and salt.
    • In a jug, add the milk, egg and cooled melted butter and combine well with a small whisk.
    • Pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl with the flour and use a whisk to combine all of the ingredients.
    • Place a non stick frying pan on the stove over a medium high heat and add a little butter.
    • Place dessert spoon sized amounts of the mixture into the frying pan and cook for 1-2 minutes before carefully flipping over and cooking for a further minute.

    Thermomix Instructions

    • Put the butter into your Thermomix bowl and cook for 2 minutes, 60 degrees, speed 2 or until melted.
    • Add the self raising flour, caster sugar, milk, egg and a sprinkle of salt and mix for 10 seconds on speed 5.
    • Preheat your frying pan with a little bit of butter over a medium high heat and add tablespoon amounts of the mixture.
    • When bubbles begin to appear on the surface of the pikelets, carefully flip them over and cook for a further 30 seconds on the other side before transferring to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
    • Continue until you have used all of the  pikelet mixture.

    Notes

    These pikelets are freezer friendly.
    You can omit the caster sugar if you wish.

      Hi.. is it possible to pre-make pikelet batter & store in fridge for next day cooking? If yes, how long can the batter be stored in fridge? 2-3 days?

      The recipe for Easy Pinklets, mentions Apple pinklet batter in the Thermomix directions. But there is no Apple in the ingredient list.
