Super easy recipe, I make it all the time for my toddler, you could also just use self raising flour and skip the baking powder of course, works just as well. But great recipe thanks!

100 STARS

its very easy to multiply it by 10 to feed my forty pet monkes

These pikelets are always my go to for a nice breakfast. However I have a family of 6 so i need to double the recipe everytime i make these. When we have more guest over we triple it but it's ok cause this recipe is easy to make and everybody always loves it (if they're piklet is cooked properly)

Just like the other recipep

i love it how its so easy to make it

Yummy No regrets

AMAZING, TOP OF THE LIST!

Amazing and easy, my whole family scoffs them! :)

Best ever

There is a step missing at the bottom it dosnt say what to do once you add milk with the other wet ingredients

I winged it put everything in a bowl and mixed it in with a fork and i used self raising flour and they came out really good.

My piklets were so good I had to make another batch!

it is so bad that I would give you a 0 but that is not possible so I give you a one

Good

Tasty!!! I'm definitely going to make these again. :)

Best piklets yet!

Really easy, really yum

Great recipe! I added an extra tsp of baking powder for more fluffy pancakes and made them a bit bigger.

It is a bit thick

Delicious and simple.
Nice aerated pikelets soft and tasty. Perfect with raspberry jam!! Real easy for the kids to make :)

Great easy recipe, there was plenty for four people, they were delicious, will make these again.
If it were for guys there would probably be enough for two of them - my men anyway.

So easy, fast and yum! Don't over-mix and it makes for nice light and fluffy pikelets

it was a very good recipe the piklets were nice and moist and not dry i give this the rating of a 4

Nice explanation verbs used but you could have mentioned to turn the pan on at the start allowing it to pre -heat. I know it's common sense but pikelets are a really simple recipe that little learners may start with.

Amazing. Will make again several times.

yum

So good

Sooo......... YUM

Wowwwweeeeeee

Sooooo delish! I am definitely gonna make them again!

YUM!!!

Worked well. Tried some in min-crumpet-rings which gives thicker pikelet and fixed size. Cooked through OK despite extra thickness. My wife prefers less sugar.

OMG i made these for father day. He loved it

They are great for kids snacks, they loved them

Identical to the Edmonds recipe book.

Really easy.

Really yum

This recipe worked out okay, but typically pikelet recipes contain 1 tablespoon of melted butter, and I think this addition would make them softer.
The recipe is pleasingly lowish in sugar.

So easy and is 100% fail proof! So tasty and perfect.

Just do it well.

Tasted bad

The best and only recipe I use to make pikelet’s. Is a regular treat in my family.

Amazing. So puffy and they also taste delicious.

So light and fluffy. My go to pancake recipe.

Great recipe. Made a double batch for my hungry family. Nice light batter. Rose a fair amount and made a decent quantity. Not stodgy at all.

Making this pikelet recipe was really easy and the finished product was absolutely. Delicious I made this for my mum for mother's day and she loved it.

I always love my island pancakes with just 3 ingredients,
this morning I tried making this pikelet recipe, omg, I'm so proud of myself, didn't even last on the plate, I/we loved it...

On the money. Great

I am missing mums home cooking right now!

Well the batter tasted amazing and the finished product was amazing.

Great recipe. I added choc chips and topped with raspberry jam. Yum!

Quick and delicious!

This recipe is fantastic... Family loved it!

Quick, easy and DELISH!

Great recipe. We all enjoyed eating them. I added a squeeze of golden syrup in the batter.

Good morning

disgusting

Wonderful recipe! I have tried five recipes over recent years - all failures. This one is delicious!
They rise beautifully, are moist and take 10 minutes to mix up, unlike previous recipes tried.
