2 tablespoon caster sugar

3/4 cup milk

1 egg

50 gram butter, melted, plus extra for cooking

strawberry jam, to serve

whipped cream, to serve

Method

1.Sift flour into a large bowl. Stir in sugar.

2.In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg and butter until combined. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture. Gradually blend in milk mixture until smooth.

3.Heat a large non-stick frying pan on medium. Brush with extra melted butter.

4.Drop heaped tablespoonfuls of batter into pan. Cook 1-2 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn and cook other side for 1 minute, or until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

5.Repeat with remaining mixture, brushing the pan with butter as you go. Serve pikelets topped with jam and cream.

You may need to add another 1/4 cup milk, depending on thickness of the batter. If preferred, you could use marscapone instead of cream.
