Equipment

  • 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.
  • Transfer the cooked Pikelets to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Repeat (adding a little extra butter as needed) until you have used all of the mixture.
  • Serve Pikets with your favourite topping or keep in the fridge/freezer until required.

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

  • If you don't have any self-raising flour, simply use plain flour and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
  • Skim or full cream milk can be used.
  • I melt the butter by placing in a microwave safe bowl and cooking for 30 second spurts until melted.
  • The caster sugar can be omitted from this recipe.
  • To store, place in an airtight container and keep in the fridge. Consume within 4 days.
  • To freeze, place in a freezer safe container and store for up to three months.
