This easy pikelet recipe is quick to make and perfect for morning tea or an afternoon snack.
Pikelets are one of those awesomely easy recipes that can be whipped up in a matter of minutes, cooked and eaten straight away, no fuss.
I always made the batter before I picked up the kids from school, let it sit while I went to get them (letting the batter sit is not necessary though). While they unpacked their school bag and got changed, I spooned the mixture into the frying pan.
A product available in my shop, is the Oxo Squeeze and Pour cups, they work so well, and are a mess-free way to add batter to a frying pan. You could even use them to make fun shapes with your pikelets.
For our family, one batch is enough for afternoon tea, but sometimes I make a double batch to have enough for afternoon tea and snack for lunch boxes the next day. Find lunchbox ideas here.
Hope you enjoy my easy pikelet recipe!
