Delight in the charming simplicity of Fluffy Pikelets, a beloved Australian classic perfect for breakfast, tea time, or a light snack. These golden mini pancakes are made with pantry staples like self-raising flour, caster sugar, and a touch of melted butter, resulting in a dreamy, airy texture that melts in your mouth. Quick and easy to prepare, with just 10 minutes of prep time, they’re cooked to perfection in minutes, boasting a light, tender crumb. Serve these warm delights with your favorite toppings—think butter, jam, honey, or a dollop of fresh cream—for a versatile treat that’s as comforting as it is indulgent. Perfectly portioned for sharing, this recipe makes four servings of pikelets that bring a taste of Australian tradition to any table.
In a large mixing bowl, sift the self-raising flour to remove any lumps.
Add the caster sugar to the flour and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg. Then add the milk and melted butter, and mix until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The consistency should be thick but pourable.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a teaspoon of butter or oil.
Spoon tablespoons of the batter onto the frying pan, leaving space between each pikelet. You should be able to fit about 3-4 pikelets per batch, depending on the size of your pan.
Cook the pikelets for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip them gently with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pikelets to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the pikelets warm with butter, jam, honey, or fresh cream as desired. Enjoy!
