How to make pikelets

Ingredients:

3 eggs

2 tablespoons of castor sugar
a pinch of salt
3 cups of full cream milk

& self raising flour to thicken (aprox 3-4 cups)

steps:

1. You must have the pan hot, but before you heat it up cover base with a thin layer of butter

2. whisk the eggs & castor sugar till it becomes frothy

3. add the pinch of salt & milk

4. Add sifted flour a little at a time till it's smooth & thick (think the consistency of custard)

You are now ready to start making pikelets!

Now make sure the pan is hot over medium heat, pour into the pan the size pikelet you desire & wait till it lightly bubbles all over (approx 1 minute) - then it is time to flip them over to the other side.

If for some reason the first batch don't turn out quite perfect, not to worry as it happens every time but the rest will be divine!

makes 10 large or 20 medium sized pikelets

Eat them hot or wait till they cool.

When hot they are delicious with maple syrup & a scoop of ice cream or my favourite: a dusting of icing sugar & fresh lemon juice!

When cool they are great served with your favourite jam & fresh cream. Batter should be used within 24hrs & kept refrigerated

ENJOY!
