Scottish pancakes, also known as pikelets, are a breakfast staple in Scotland and across the UK. These fluffy and delicious pancakes are easy to make and can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings. Traditionally, they are served with butter and jam or honey, but they can also be enjoyed with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or even savory toppings like bacon and eggs. Scottish pancakes are a great choice for a weekend brunch or a special breakfast treat.

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour, sugar, and baking soda.
2.	Add lightly beaten egg, milk, and melted butter. Whisk everything together until smooth.
3.	Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Drop the batter (around 2 tablespoons each) onto the pan, leaving some space between each.
4.	Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip them and cook the other side until golden brown.
5.	Serve the pancakes when they're still warm with butter, jam, honey, or clotted cream.
