Making pikelets is one of my favourite childhood memories. My sisters and I would hover around while Mum dropped judicious amounts of batter into the electric frying pan. Soon bubbles would appear, which meant it was time to carefully flip them over to reveal their golden bases. A few more minutes and then they were ready to be buttered and drizzled with honey or golden syrup or maybe just eaten plain before they hit the plate. This is the classic pikelet recipe of my youth. It all comes back, the aroma of the pikelets as they sizzle in the buttered pan, to making batch upon batch, more than you could possibly eat, but eat we did. Why is this our best pikelet recipe? All you need is a handful of staple ingredients and twenty minutes to take you from a craving to a plateful of light, fluffy and irresistibly cute pikelets ready to be devoured morning, noon or night! For a savoury version, try our corn and chive pikelets, and if you need a gluten-free pikelet recipe, we have you covered too. Key ingredients in this pikelet recipe Milk: this unassuming ingredient adds moisture to the pikelets, ensuring there's no rubbery result! Egg: this clever little binding ingredient contributes to the structural integrity of your pikelets. Flour: self-raising flour helps to give your pikelets a little height, plus a soft and airy texture, without needing to add baking powder. It also provides structure to the batter, so the pikelets hold their shape while cooking. Sugar: while enhancing the flavour of your pikelets, sugar also helps to caramelise the outside of your pikelets in the pan, giving them a golden hue. Melted butter: this nifty ingredient helps to prevent sticking and provides a beautiful golden crust when brushed onto the cooking surface. It also adds to the flavour of your pikelets. Honey: Adding natural sweetness and a hint of floral flavour when drizzled over the warm pikelets, honey is a perfect match for pikelets. We also have a winning fluffy pancake recipe, and a fabulous crepe recipe you can try this weekend.

My favourite Chinese restaurant treat, made at home! So easy, and unbelievably good. The roll out dough will keep in the fridge for a couple of days, or you can freeze them, then pop them in the pan when you are ready to cook (you don't even need to defrost them). They are best eaten fresh off the stove!
These Iced Buns are absolutely delicious and very nostalgic to me. Soft and sweet they really are outstanding.
As fancy as Phyllo Wrapped Spinach Salmon may seem, it's a quite simple and quick recipe to prepare. Additionally, these packets of goodness can be assembled ahead of time, stored in the fridge and baked when you are ready. The combination of crunch from the baked, flaky phyllo dough round out the creaminess from the spinach mixture and the soft, delicate texture of the salmon.
