Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable; avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy pikelets.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to lightly grease the surface.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or small ladle, drop spoonfuls of batter onto the skillet, spacing them about an inch apart. Each pikelet should be about 2-3 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, about 1-2 minutes. Flip the pikelets carefully with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, about another 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.

Step 8

Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as butter, jam, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
