Ingredients
- 1 cup Wholemeal self-raising flour
- 0.25 cup Wheat bran
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0 Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholemeal self-raising flour, wheat bran, brown sugar, and baking powder. Mix well to incorporate all the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spoon or spatula. Do not overmix—stop as soon as the batter is combined and free of large lumps.
Step 4
Melt the butter and stir it into the batter until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a little butter or cooking spray.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or small ladle, scoop batter onto the heated pan to form small pikelets approximately 2–3 inches in diameter. Allow space between pikelets for easy flipping.
Step 7
Cook for about 1–2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip each pikelet with a spatula and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked pikelets to a plate and keep warm under a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Step 9
Serve warm with butter, honey, jam, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
