Jam-Filled Pikelets
Serves: 20 pikelets
Tasty jam-filled pikelets which are perfect for lunch boxes.
Ingredients
- 100 g (¾ cup) plain flour, (all-purpose flour)
- 5 g (1 teaspoon) baking powder
- 1 pinch fine salt
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar, (superfine sugar)
- 1 egg
- 125 ml (½ cup) milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for frying
- Raspberry Jam, or Strawberry Jam
Instructions
- Measure the flour, baking powder, 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 ¼ 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.
