Enjoy these fluffy and delightful vanilla pikelets, perfect for a quick breakfast or a cozy snack.
Combine the self-raising flour, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.
Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a lump-free batter and even mixing.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Ensure the butter is slightly cooled before mixing to prevent cooking the egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
Do not overmix; a few lumps in the batter are fine for fluffy pikelets.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Use a paper towel to evenly spread a thin layer of oil or butter on the pan.
Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the pan, spacing them apart.
Cook in batches to maintain even cooking and avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
Wait until the edges look set and bubbles pop before flipping for the best results.
Remove the pikelets from the pan and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
