Pikelets (Welsh Pancakes) image

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.

Categories     Pancakes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
2/3 cup milk
1 large egg
1 1/2 Tbsp butter, melted
extra butter to grease the pan
jam or honey, to serve

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.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pikelets turned out dry and crumbly. Not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of pikelets, but these were actually pretty good. I might make them again.

These pikelets were a bit too thick for my taste, but they still had a good flavor.

I've tried many pikelet recipes, but this one is definitely my favorite. The pikelets are always light and fluffy.

Not a fan of these pikelets. They were too bland for my taste.

These pikelets were a bit denser than I expected, but they still had a good flavor. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've been making pikelets for years, and this recipe is by far the best. They're always perfect.

These pikelets turned out beautifully! They were light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior. I served them with butter and jam, and they were absolutely delicious.
