INGREDIENTS:
- 100 g (3/4 cup) plain flour
- 1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- tiny pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) full cream milk
- some butter
- raspberry or strawberry jam
INSTRUCTIONS:
Measure the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cream of tartar, salt and sugar into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Whisk the egg and milk together in a measuring jug.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
If you think the batter is too thick, add a dash of milk to thin the batter.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or crêpe pan over medium heat.
Drop a small amount of butter into the pan and wipe it around the pan with some kitchen paper.
Using a tablespoon measure (15-20 ml) or large spoon, pour small drops of batter into the pan. For this recipe, I find it easiest to make 3 pikelets at a time.
Quickly drop about 1/4 teaspoon of jam (or more) into the middle of each pikelet, and then use about a teaspoon of batter to cover the jam.
As soon as small bubbles start to appear on the surface, flip the pikelets over and cook for a further minute or so.
The pikelets should be evenly coloured and lightly golden on both sides.
Remove the pikelets to a silicon tortilla or pancake warmer until all of the batter has been used.
The pikelets can be served warm or cold.
Any leftover pikelets can be kept on a plate covered in clingfilm and stored in a cool place.
