Pikelets are a staple breakfast food in Australia, similar to American pancakes, but much smaller in size. They are quick and easy to make, and the perfect breakfast for busy mornings or lazy weekends. The addition of the strawberry jam, a classic Aussie topping, adds a slightly sweet and fruity flavour to the pancakes. These Pikelets are best enjoyed while they are still warm and soft, and can be served with a variety of other toppings, such as butter, honey, or whipped cream.

Instructions

1.In a bowl, mix the self-rising flour, salt, baking soda and vanilla sugar.
2.In a separate bowl, mix the milk and vinegar together. Then pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
3.Add the melted butter and the beaten egg into the mixture and whisk until smooth.
4.Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of butter to the pan. Once the butter is melted, place tablespoons of batter onto the pan, cooking each side until golden brown.
5.Spread some strawberry jam onto each pancake and serve.
