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!
