Home Economics | Pikelets |

On the 12th of June, we made some pikelets. Pikelets are like mini pancakes but they are not the same, the pikelets are thicker than pancakes. It was quite easy to make, however, the main mixture was the most challenging part of the making. We had to whisk an egg with some sugar on it until it gets pale and thick. Our group took turns whisking and whisking until it finally was pale and thick, I think that it took us about 15 minutes to finish it. Anyways when we were done we cooked it in the pan with a little bit of butter on it too. When we tried first tried the pikelet, it was fluffy and was sweet with the right amount of salt on it too, but it tasted really delicious.

Ingredients:

• 1 c Plain flour
• 1 t Baking powder
• 1/8 t salt
• 1 egg
• 1/4 c sugar
• 3/4 c milk

Method:

1. Sift the baking powder and the salt in the bowl.
2. In another bowl beat the egg and sugar with a whisk until pale thick.
3. Add the egg mixture and the milk to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
4. Gently heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add or brush with a little melted butter. Drop a tablespoon of the mixture from the point of the spoon onto the surface.
5. When bubbles start to burst on the top of the pikelets. Turn them over and cook the other side until golden.
6. Place on a cooling rack.
7. Serve with a sweet or savoury topping.
