Recipe - Pikelets

1 cup Selfraising flour (white is
best) sifted
One half teaspoon Vanilla essence
One fourth cup White sugar (really to
taste)
1 Egg (largish)
1 cup Sour milk; about (or fresh
milk curdled with 1 tsp
white vinegar)
Butter/lard/oil for frying

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 One half cup of milk
and mix Add above mixture to flour. Beat vigourously. Add milk until
mixture

is about the consistency of wood glue.. bubbles should remain on

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
110) (I transfer mixture to a jug at this point) Add about 1tsp of oil
to frypan (more if mot using a nonstick 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!!

If the underside is burnt reduce heat .. if uncooked increase it :)
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.
