Pikelets - Home Economics

Pikelets 


Hi guys, this Blog post is going to be about Pikelets that we cooked last week. Pikelets are similar to Pancakes, they are cooked the same but the size and texture are different. I would say that the Pikelets are much thicker and softer that the Pancake due to the fact that you have to whisk it till it's thick and pale. We got to taste the first Pikelets that we made before we proceeded on cooking the rest of the mixture. The taste of it was balanced and the texture was really soft and chewy. Anyways, here are the Ingredients and the steps on how to make Pikelets. 

Ingredients:

1 c Plain Flour 
1 t Baking Powder 
1/4 t Salt 
1 Egg 
1/4 c Sugar 
3/4 c Milk 

Method:

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a big bowl. In an smaller bowl, beat the egg and sugar with a whisk until it turns thick and pale. I suggest that you do this first because it's gonna take a while. Now once the egg mixture turns thick and pale, add in the dry ingredients. Add the milk in as well but pour in on the side of the bowl and not on the middle, because all the air bubbles that are in the egg mixture will disappear and the finish product won't be as fluffy as it should be. Once you've added all the ingredients together, gently mix it until it's all combined.

Now, it's time to cook. Gently heat a non stick frying pan over medium heat and add or brush with a little melted butter. Drop tablespoonfuls of the mixture from the point of the spoon onto the surface. When bubbles start to burst on the top of the pikelets, turn them over and let the other side cook until golden. Once you've finished cooking all of it, place them on a cooling rack. Now you're all done. You could put some Nutella or some kind of jam on top of it if you want to.

Here are some photos while making it and also the finish product:

  1. Hi Janel. Your pikelets look great. They have a good shape and have risen well. How did they taste apart from being balanced? Did you like them? Your photos are also very clear. One thing you could do is to include the photos in with the appropriate steps of the method.
