Ingredients

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1/2 cup milk or more if needed

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of self-rising flour and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Whisk them together until they are well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, crack open 1 large egg. Add 1 tablespoon of melted butter and 1/2 cup of milk. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix. If the batter seems too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Place your non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Allow it to warm up for a couple of minutes. To check if it’s ready, sprinkle a few drops of water onto the pan; if they sizzle and evaporate, it’s time to cook your pikelets.
  • Using a ladle or a measuring cup, pour small amounts of batter onto the pan, forming rounds about 3 inches in diameter. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set.
  • Carefully flip the pikelets using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Remove them from the pan and keep them warm while you continue with the remaining batter.
  • Once all your pikelets are cooked, serve them warm with your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
  • Ensure your pan is adequately heated to avoid soggy pikelets.
  • Adjust the milk for your desired batter consistency.
  • Keep cooked pikelets warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
