Quick and Easy Pikelets Recipe

4.4 from 50 reviews

Pikelets are small, fluffy pancakes originating from Australia and New Zealand, perfect for breakfast or as a snack. Made with simple ingredients like flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and baking powder, these mini pancakes are cooked on a stovetop pan until golden brown and served warm with butter, jam, or honey.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder to combine. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the milk. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the Pikelets: Spoon small rounds of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the hot pan. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 1-2 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve: Remove from the pan and serve the pikelets warm with your choice of toppings such as butter, honey, or jam.

Notes

  • For fluffier pikelets, do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
  • You can add a pinch of salt or vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
  • Serve immediately or keep warm in a low oven while cooking remaining pikelets.
  • These are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a toaster or pan.
