INSTRUCTIONS
This is really an 'off the top af my head' recipe .. but with a large
collection of young sisters it really does the trick. SECRET
: Use SOUR MILK. If you don't have any add about 1 tsp of white vinegar and
leave it to curdle (about 5 minutes) PIKELETS
: (Quantities off the top of my head .. but should be about right) - Sift
flour into a medium mixing bowl or bowl for electric mixer
( Can also use a blender, milkshake maker, etc..) - Break egg into a
cup - beat with fork - Combine Egg/ Vanilla essence/ about 1/2 cup of milk
and mix - Add above mixture to flour. Beat vigourously. Add milk until
mixture
surface of mixture. I'm sorry this is imprecise, but afew experiments
should get it about right. - Leave mixture to sit for about 10
minutes. - Heat frypan/gridle to a medium temp (I use about 6 on a scale
1-10) - (I transfer mixture to a jug at this point) - Add about 1tsp of oil
to frypan (more if mot using a non-stick frypan)
Pour mixture into pan to form pikelets of requird size (2"-4")
Turn when bubbles burst and don't fill in. They will only take about
half a minute once they are turned!!
Serve with Jam/Cream, Honey, Maple Syrup, Vegemite, Whatever!!! I know this
is a bit rough.. but It shouldn't take long to pick up the art.
