Pikelets (Australian Pancakes)

Submitted by Nif_H

"Unlike American pancakes, the Australian pikelets can be purchased ready-made in grocery stores. You can eat the cold or hot and they are typically topped with cream, jam, fruit or butter and sugar! They are handle for snacks and lunches. I found these on an Australian website. Enjoy!"

These are some tasty little pikelets Nif. I enjoyed them very much, served with a little maple syrup and wrapped around candied hot bacon. To die for. The pikelets were flavorful, light and tender, just perfect. Made for the Fearless Red Dragons - ZWT8 - Australia

Holy pikelets batman! These were soooooo good. I loved how fluffly they became while cooking. They were very flavorful, too, with addition of vanilla and butter. Yummy. I subbed the rice milk for milk and it worked beautifully. My kids will request these pancakes often! Made for ZWT8 Australia/NZ regions. Thank you mate!

Delicious pikelets! Slightly sweet and so buttery, yet light and fluffy. Heated some orange marmalade mixed with blueberries for the topping - perfect - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for ZWT8, Chefs gone WILD!

These cake/pikelets are yummy!! I had to make my own self raising flour, as the self raising flour I had on hand, wasn't working. We had ours with fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream, so delicious!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for Susie's World Tour 2018!!
