Master chef are making pancakes and this recipe for pancakes (pikelets as we call them) are a great staple for Sunday lunch with the family around the table. Fantastically easy and whipped up with ease, they are a delight to eat warm with jam and cream. This is my mother’s recipe which makes a large quantity – all the better.
Pikelets:
- 12 heaped tablespoons of flour
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- pinch of salt
- 2 level tsp of baking soda
- 2 rounded tsp of cream of tartar
- 2 eggs
- milk to mix
Sift the dry ingredients together into a bowl. Drop in the eggs and add the milk. 
Mix until a nice thick creamy consistency. Leave to stand for 5 minutes. 
Spoon into a lightly buttered frying pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bubbles show through, flip. Do not cook at too high a temperature or they will burn. 
Eat warm with butter, jam and cream, of course, or if you want to get really flash and a bit healthy! chopped or grilled banana, maple syrup and bacon!!!!! Mmmmmmmmm
