Cooking Corner: Pikelets

My usual breakfast consists of a bowl of cereal and milk before running out the door. I don't mind cereal at all but every so often (when I have the time) I like to make something a bit more "special." Here are my general breakfast go-tos: soft boiled eggs and soldiers, fried egg and toast, scrambled eggs (hmm there seems to be a pattern here), soup noodles, and pikelets. Today was a pikelet kind of day.

Have you heard of pikelets before? They are basically the Australian/New Zealand equivalent to pancakes and they are hands down so much better than pancakes. Usually they are eaten with butter or jam and whipped cream, and I've also eaten them with maple syrup (I'm a Canadian, yo), but I usually just eat them plain (fork optional, heehee). Here's the recipe I use:

Pikelets
1 C AP flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 C sugar
3/4 milk
1 egg

1. In a bowl, sift* together AP flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. In a separate bowl mix together egg and sugar

3. Add 1/2 of dry ingredients to wet ingredients.

4. Gradually add milk and rest of dry ingredients until everything is mix together.

5. Cook batter in skillet just like you'd cook a pancake (pour into little circle/disc and wait until it starts to bubble and the bubbles start to pop, then turn over onto the other side until pikelet is cooked through)

*I couldn't be bothered to sift anything so I just mix things together and it still turns out just fine.

Sorry, no pictures because I couldn't wait to eat them and now they are all gone. :)
