Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Caster sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Stir in the caster sugar to evenly combine.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl or jug, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk until a smooth, thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or small ladle, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the heated pan, forming small rounds approximately 2–3 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Cook the pikelets for about 1–2 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip them carefully with a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1–2 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pikelets to a plate and cover them with a clean tea towel to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary.

Step 8

Serve the pikelets warm with butter, jam, honey, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
