Ruth's Easy Pikelets

Photo: Eat, Little Bird

Ingredients

• 2 cups self-raising flour
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1½ cups milk
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence
• 50 g butter, melted

Method

Put all except butter in your kitchen whizz and beat for just a few minutes, then add melted butter. Whizz again to mix. Do not stir again. Cook spoonfuls on a hot griddle or frying pan till bubbles start to appear, then turn with a spatula and cook till light brown. Place on a tea towel on a rack and cover to cool.

Tip for pikelets: Once a pikelet mixture has been prepared, do not stir it. Remove the spoon  altogether and carefully take spoonfuls out for baking, disturbing the mixture as little as possible.
