Simple Fluffy Pikelets

Soft, fluffy and delicious!

What more could you want in a pikelet?

Pikelets exist all over the world. 

They are simply called different names in various countries, such as drop scones, Scotch pancakes, silver dollar pancakes, mini hotcakes, or mini pancakes.

This recipe is my firm favourite!

It is a one-bowl mix!

 Dollop with jam of your choice, and a swirl of whipped cream.

Add some berries for added pizazz!     

I LOVE blueberries...
What's your favourite berry? 

Blueberries seem to be the perfect complement to pikelets, jam and cream!

TIPS: 

A Tablespoon drop of batter makes a nice size pikelet. 

The batter should be the consistency of thick honey.

Don't overmix the batter! It will make the pikelets tough.

Have the lightly buttered frypan on a low to medium heat.

Don't flip the pikelets until bubbles appear.
