Ingredients

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk, or more if needed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Sift the flour into a medium bowl and stir in the sugar.
  2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack in the egg.
  3. Stir while pouring in the milk slowly until the batter comes together. Add more milk if you want thinner pikelets. (THK Note: We added an extra 1/4 cup of milk here) Stir in butter.
  4. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat, and coat with a small amount of cooking oil or spray. Drop a large spoonful of the batter onto the hot skillet. Flip when bubbles appear.
  5. Cook until browned on both sides. Serve warm pikelets with butter, honey or jam. Stored in a plastic bag, they will keep for up to three days. Best rewarmed before serving.
