Pikelets with Berries is a popular breakfast or snack option in Australian and New Zealand cuisine. Pikelets are similar to pancakes but smaller and thicker, and can be served sweet or savory. This recipe uses mixed berries combined with orange juice and demerara sugar to create a tangy, flavorful topping. Pikelets themselves are easy to make and offer a healthier alternative to other breakfast options like muffins or donuts.

1.In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and caster sugar.
2.Melt butter in a pan or microwave and let it cool a bit.
3.Beat the egg in a separate bowl, add the milk and melted butter and whisk thoroughly.
4.Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and whisk until you get a smooth batter.
5.Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Use a tablespoon to dollop batter onto the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
6.In a separate pan, add orange juice, arrowroot and demerara sugar and cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
7.Add mixed berries to the pan and cook for another minute until the berries warm up and the mixture thickens.
8.Serve the pikelets topped with the berry mixture and a dollop of double cream.
