Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 0.75 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
• 0.5 cup zucchini (grated and squeezed to remove excess moisture)
• 0.5 cup carrot (grated)
• 2 stalks green onion (finely sliced)
• 2 tablespoons butter or oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 4

Fold in the grated cheddar cheese, zucchini, carrot, and green onion, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Step 6

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the batter onto the skillet for each pikelet, leaving enough space between them for spreading.

Step 7

Cook the pikelets for 1–2 minutes or until bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges begin to set.

Step 8

Flip the pikelets carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked pikelets to a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to keep warm while cooking the remaining batches.

Step 10

Serve the pikelets warm with your choice of dips, sauces, or a simple dollop of sour cream.
