Pikelets

This was probably one of the first things I learned to cook and so I thought it was fitting that it should be one of the first things I post.  I got the recipe from my lovely mum, who used to stand in the kitchen cooking these on weekend mornings, as I ate them as soon as they were out of the pan smothered in butter.  They are great either hot with butter or cold with jam and whipped cream.

Ingredients:

1 Cup Flour

1/2 Cup Sugar

1 x Egg

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp oil

1 tsp vinegar (brown / white)

3/4 Cup Milk

Method:

Combine Flour, Sugar and baking powder. Break egg into mix and begin to combine with milk a little at a time. When mixture is the right consistency (not too runny!) add the oil and vinegar.

Use a tablespoon to measure the right amount of mix and pour onto a fry pan at a medium temperature. Slightly cooler is better than too hot. The mix should begin to bubble on the top indicating that the other side is the right colour. Flip and cook the other side – takes less time to cook so watch carefully.

Keep covered after cooking (tea-towel is best) to ensure they keep their moisture and don’t dry out.

Enjoy!
