Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups plain flour (/ all-purpose flour)
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp white sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1 large egg ((1¾-2 oz / 2 oz in shell))
• 3/4 cup milk ((full fat best, but any type even non dairy ok))
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract ((optional but recommended))
• 2 tsp butter
• Strawberry jam
• Whipped cream

Method

1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, white sugar and pinch of salt together in a bowl.
2. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, add the egg, milk and vanilla extract and whisk until the batter is almost lump free, with a thick consistency that drops slowly from the whisk.
3. Melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, then wipe most of it out with paper towel so no visible drops of butter remain.
4. Drop about 2 tablespoons of batter per pikelet into the pan, coaxing each spoonful into a round about 3 in across, and cook up to four at a time.
5. When bubbles have appeared on the surface and at least four of them have popped, after about 1½ minutes, flip the pikelets and cook the other side for 1 minute, until golden.
6. Move the cooked pikelets to a plate and keep cooking the rest of the batter in batches, adding more butter only by the third batch, then serve them warm with strawberry jam and whipped cream.
