Pikelets, as we know them, are a uniquely Australian and New Zealand phenomenon. In some parts of the world, asking for a pikelet will result in either a crumpet or an oatcake rather than fluffy little pancakes.

Ingredients

3/4 cup (180ml) milk

1 egg, beaten lightly

1/4 cup (90g) golden syrup

1 cup (150g) self-raising flour

1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

a little butter or cooking oil for greasing

butter and jam, to serve

Method

1.Whisk the milk, egg and golden syrup in a medium jug or bowl until combined.

2.Sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda into a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the milk mixture until smooth.

3.Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until hot.

4.Grease the pan with a little butter or cooking oil, then drop 2 tablespoons of batter per pikelet into the pan, allowing room for spreading. When bubbles begin to appear, turn to cook until browned on other side. Transfer pikelets to a large plate and cover with a clean tea towel to keep warm.

5.Serve pikelets warm with butter and jam, if desired.
