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 make the batter before I pick up the kids from school, let it sit while I go get them (letting the batter sit is not necessary though), while they are unpacking their school bag and getting changed I spoon the mixture into the frying pan. A new product now 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!

Just wondering if you can freeze them?
Hi Lisa, Yes I think they would freeze fine. I never have only because they don’t seem to last that long lol.:) I would suggest buttering them and spreading jam on them before you freeze them so when you take them out they are ready to place straight into the lunchbox. Here is a link for a post i did on the blog on what freezable containers i like to use: https://theorganisedhousewife.com.au/lunchbox-ideas/freezer-friendly-lunch-box-food-ideas/
Such a simple and yummy recipe Kat! I love your idea of making the batter before the school run – perfect!
Thanks Lucy.:)x
ARGH!!!! Kat, are you sure the measurements are right? Mine turned out super thick… Maybe it’s me, but I’m sure I measured right…
Oh no Tina! Yes i just double checked, maybe you could try adding a fracion more milk. I’m not sure why they didn’t work out for you.:( Please let me know how you go next time round.:)
