After the torrential rain on Friday night, Melbourne woken a little soggy on Saturday morning with the air quite cool given we are in summer!
Weather like this reminds me of days when I was young when you were stuck inside and a little bored. The thought of pikelets with golden syrup was on my mind so I got cookin’ and whipped up a batch.
Half were gone in a flash and boy, they hit the spot. A little trick that I always remember from Mum’s recipe book was to add a teaspoon or so of vinegar to the milk which turns it into ‘make believe’ buttermilk. I used organic apple cider vinegar because of its positive values on the body, although I’m sure the actual feast of pikelets negated this! Anyway, my craving has been happily fulfilled and I get to share this with you.
Here’s the recipe:
1 egg
1 tablespoon of sugar
(Whisk these two together)
1 cup of SR flour
1/2 cup of milk (with a teaspoon of vinegar, of your choice)
(Add these two ingredients to the egg/sugar mix and whisk together)
1 tablespoon of butter (melted)
(Now add this to the batter for a lovely rich and smooth texture)
Cook in a little butter over low/medium heat
EAT WARM!!!!!
