Description:

Fruity flavours add interest to traditional pikelets.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup self-raising flour
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2/3 cup low-fat milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 tbsp butter or margarine
• 2 cups thinly sliced fruit such as apple, persimmon or pear
• Icing sugar or Orange, Grapefruit & Ginger Salsa (see recipe) and thick yoghurt to serve

Method:

1. Combine flour with brown sugar then whisk in egg, milk and vanilla.
2. Heat a frying pan with a little butter (or margarine) and cook tablespoonfuls of the mixture until bubbles form and burst in the pikelets, about 2 minutes.
3. Gently press sliced fruit on top, then flip over and cook 2 minutes.
4. Remove from pan and dust with icing sugar – or top with Orange, Grapefruit & Ginger Salsa (see recipe) and serve with thick yoghurt.

Tip: Thin slices of apple, persimmon or pear are delicious winter fruits to use for these pikelets.
