Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 large egg
• 0.75 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mixed fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender pikelets.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pikelet, spacing them evenly apart. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pikelets to a plate and keep them warm by covering with a clean kitchen towel while cooking the remaining batter.

Step 8

Wash and prepare the mixed berries. If using large berries like strawberries, slice them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 9

Serve the pikelets warm, topped with the mixed fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
