Pikelets - Good Old Aussie Ones image

This is a recipe from a collection of hand me down recipes for good old fashioned Aussie cooking. I have no idea where this recipe originated. My mother always used soured milk to make light tasty pikelets.

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces self raising flour
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 tablespoon sugar
1 medium egg
4 fluid ounces milk, soured with
1 teaspoon vinegar or 1 teaspoon lemon juice, added to the measured milk
2 teaspoons of melted butter
extra butter, for frying the pikelets

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda together into a medium sized bowl.
  • Make a well in the centre, add the sugar, egg, soured milk and the melted butter.
  • Stir gradually, drawing in the flour from the sides, to make a smooth batter.
  • Put tablespoonfuls of the batter on to a hot, greased griddle or fry pan.
  • If the batter thickens while cooking the pikelets just add a little more milk.
  • Use enough milk to make the batter the original consistency.
  • Cook each pikelet until bubbles appear on top and brown underneath.
  • Turn the pikelet to brown the other side.
  • Continue until all the batter is used.
  • Serve with strawberry jam and cream.
