Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Self-raising flour (white is best) sifted

1 cup Sour milk; about (or fresh milk curdled with 1 tsp white vinegar)
Butter/lard/oil for frying
is about the consistency of wood glue.. bubbles should remain on
If the underside is burnt reduce heat .. if uncooked increase it :) -

Directions

This is really an 'off the top af my head' recipe .. but with a large collection of young sisters it really does the trick. SECRET : Use SOUR MILK. If you don't have any add about 1 tsp of white vinegar and leave it to curdle (about 5 minutes) PIKELETS : (Quantities off the top of my head .. but should be about right) - Sift flour into a medium mixing bowl or bowl for electric mixer ( Can also use a blender, milkshake maker, etc..) - Break egg into a cup - beat with fork - Combine Egg/ Vanilla essence/ about ½ cup of milk and mix - Add above mixture to flour. Beat vigourously. Add milk until mixture

surface of mixture. I'm sorry this is imprecise, but afew experiments should get it about right. - Leave mixture to sit for about 10 minutes. - Heat frypan/gridle to a medium temp (I use about 6 on a scale 1-10) - (I transfer mixture to a jug at this point) - Add about 1tsp of oil to frypan (more if mot using a non-stick frypan) Pour mixture into pan to form pikelets of requird size (2"-4") Turn when bubbles burst and don't fill in. They will only take about half a minute once they are turned!! Serve with Jam/Cream, Honey, Maple Syrup, Vegemite, Whatever!!! I know this is a bit rough.. but It shouldn't take long to pick up the art.
