Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg, and sugar until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to improve texture.
- Heat Griddle: Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure it’s hot enough so the pikelets cook evenly without sticking.
- Cook Pikelets: Spoon small dollops of batter onto the griddle, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip carefully and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the pikelets from the griddle and serve warm, topped with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
Notes
- For fluffier pikelets, allow the batter to rest before cooking.
- Use a non-stick pan or griddle for easy flipping.
- Adjust cooking time if you make larger or smaller pikelets.
- These pikelets freeze well; reheat in a toaster or oven.
