Pikelets Recipe - Vanilla Yogurt

Pikelet Recipe – Vanilla Yogurt Edition

I have posted my basic pikelet recipe on the blog before. With some inspiration from here, I have tweaked my recipe to make a healthier version.

As the pikelets have greater flavour themselves courtesy of the vanilla yogurt, the kids thought they tasted great straight up without any additional toppings, making them a great addition for the lunch box roster too!

  • 2 cups plain flour

5. The mixture will be quite thick, so add the milk gradually until you get the consistency of batter that you prefer for pikelets (I used the full 50 mls).

6. Add a small amount of butter to a frying pan on medium heat.

7. When melted drop large spoonfuls of mixture into the pan, allowing room for spreading.

8. When bubbles appear, turn the pikelets over.

9. The pikelets take less time to cook on the second side. Using a spatula to lift the pikelet, check that the bottom side is golden, then remove from the pan.

10. Pikelets are ready to enjoy! This batter made 15.

You can store them in an airtight container in the fridge if you want to make up a batch for school lunches. This pikelet recipe is also suitable for freezing.
