Best 5 Pikelets Welsh Pancakes Recipes
Pikelets, also known as Welsh pancakes, are a traditional and beloved breakfast dish in Wales. These small, round, and fluffy pancakes have a slightly crispy exterior and a soft and tender interior. Typically served with butter, jam, or honey, pikelets are a versatile dish that can also be enjoyed as a savory snack or light lunch.
This article presents two delightful pikelet recipes: a classic pikelet recipe and a gluten-free pikelet recipe. The classic pikelet recipe uses simple ingredients like flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, milk, and eggs, while the gluten-free pikelet recipe substitutes gluten-free flour for regular flour. Both recipes are easy to follow and yield delicious pikelets that are sure to please everyone at the table.
In addition to the pikelet recipes, this article also includes a recipe for a traditional Welsh dish called cawl. Cawl is a hearty lamb and vegetable soup that is often served with pikelets. This soup is a perfect accompaniment to the pikelets, as it provides a savory and flavorful contrast to the sweet and fluffy pancakes.
Whether you are looking for a classic breakfast dish, a savory snack, or a light lunch, this article has the perfect pikelet recipe for you. So gather your ingredients and start cooking!
PIKELETS (WELSH PANCAKES)
Pikelets are little pancakes from Wales. Although they're usually served as a hot breakfast dish, they also make a great tea time snack served at room temperature and sprinkled with powdered sugar or with honey or jam spread on top.

Steps:
- 1. Sift flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and sugar together in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
- 2. Add milk and egg to a small bowl, and use a whisk or fork to beat milk and egg until well combined and pale lemon-colored. Pour milky mixture in the well, and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
- 3. Stir melted butter into the batter.
- 4. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter to grease the bottom of the skillet. Drop 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter into the hot skillet, to form small pancakes 3 1/2 to 4 inches wide. Let cook 1 to 2 minutes. When bubbles form on the surface, use a pancake turner to flip the pikelets over, and cook the other side for 1 minute longer or until lightly browned. (You will probably have to do this in batches because you don't want to crowd your skillet or the pikelets are difficult to flip.)
- 5. Remove cooked pikelets to a platter, and cover with foil to keep warm. Add more butter to skillet if needed, and repeat until all batter is used.
- 6. Serve immediately while still hot, topped with honey or your favorite fruit jam. They're also great at room temperature as a quick snack for tea time, sprinkled with powdered sugar, or you can spread a little honey or jam on top.

PIKELETS (SCOTTISH PANCAKES)
My Aussie friend uses this recipe as her standard pancake recipe. Pikelets are the Scottish version of the southern British crumpet. They are also great for afternoon teas. Serve with fresh-squeezed lemon juice and sugar, or with butter and jam. I always thought that I had the best pancake recipe in the world until I tried these!

- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make your pikelets tough.
- Cook the pikelets over medium heat: This will prevent them from burning.
