Apple Cinnamon Pikelets
- Egg free
- Nut free
- Vegetarian
Ingredients
- 1 cup wholemeal self-raising flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbs sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vinegar
- 1 cup reduced-fat milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 apple, grated
Variations
Can be dairy-free if using a plant based milk.
Make gluten free by swapping the flour for a self-raising gluten free variety and using a gluten free baking powder (available in the baking section of major supermarkets).
Method
1. Grate apple and set aside.
2. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
3. Mix wet ingredients in a jug.
4. Use a whisk to gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry. The batter should be thick enough to “blob” onto the frypan. Add more flour to make it thicker or more milk to make it thinner. Mix in the grated apple.
5. Heat a little oil in a large frypan.
6. Use a large spoon or small measuring cup to pour equal sized dollops of batter into the pan. Cook on a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until you see bubbles come to the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat till all pikelets are cooked.
Storage instructions: As these are 100% wholemeal flour, they are best eaten on day of cooking. But they freeze really well and defrost quickly in the lunchbox or microwave.
Freezing instructions: Lay pikelets in a single layer on a plate or tray and freeze solid. Then transfer to a sealed bag or container.
