Pikelets - for a fast afternoon tea

Being unmotivated to cook the biscuits I planned and liking our traditional Sunday afternoon tea yesterday I opted for Pikelets.

I remember Mum making pikelets when I was a kid when my Nan and Pa suddenly came to visit. They always went down a treat. Fast and yummy. Spread them with butter and top with strawberry jam and if you feel really naughty whipped cream.

My husband loves them simply spread with butter and I have a love of the low sugar all fruit strawberry jams on top.

Ingredients:
1 cup SR Flour
1/4 tsp bicarb soda
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp vinegar
2 tsp softened butter

Method:

1. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl
2. Make a well in the center and  add the wet ingredients
3. Mix until smooth
4. Leave stand for 30 minutes
5. Heat a heavy based fry pan and spray with sunflower oil
6. When super hot with a paper towel wipe out the pan
7. Keep the pan on the heat but turn it down to medium low
8. Add tablespoon fulls of batter into the pan and leave until bubbley on top with a dry look
9. Turn over and brown the other side
10. On a clean tea towel over a cake rack place each pikelet and cover to keep warm. Keep doing this to the batter is used.

Note: If you have a stick mixer you can gently mix the ingredients together.
