Teatime Pikelets
Pikelets are one of those simple pleasures that everyone can make. To make pikelets it only takes a minute to mix all the ingredients together. a rubber spatula or wooden spoon works well to combine the ingredients.With five simple ingredients you can easily make a breakfast staple or an afternoon snack. Definitely add butter and maybe jam, honey, maple syrup or marmalade. Be decadent and slap on some thick clotted cream or use it as a base for a savory snack with cheese and tomatoes.I first learned to make pikelets on a bread making course 40 years ago and still enjoy them especially cooked over a campfire.

- As you poor in the milk continue to stir the mixture and then add the melted butter. Continue stirring and add more milk if you want a thinner batter.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and coat with small amount of cooking oil. Spoon a generous portion of the batter onto the hot skillet.
- You should start to see bubbles appear on the surface and than indicates it's time to flip the pikelet to cook it on the other side.
