Pikelets for Breakfast

Becky requested pikelets for breakfast this morning. Not very good for you, but much nicer made from scratch:


Ingredients:

• 2 cups SR flour
• 1/2 cup caster sugar
• 1 tbsp butter melted
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 cup milk

Method:

Put flour and sugar in bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the butter, eggs and essence. Start to mix with a fork, then gradually mix in the milk to form a smooth batter.
Heat a frying pan and spray with oil. Add 3-4 tablespoonfuls of mixture (one tablespoon of mixture for each pikelet) and cook until bubbling, then turn. Take care not to burn them. (The pan needs to be hot, but not too hot.) Keep warm on plate and cook next batch. Makes about 20.

Once these bubbles appear it is time to turn the pikelets

Variations:
For low fat option replace butter with low fat margarine and milk with skim milk.
For berry version replace milk with buttermilk and add berries of your choice to the mix.

Serve with butter and jam, or with fruit and yoghurt.

Yum!
