Wholemeal pikelets

These pikelets are very filling, and a little dry. Be careful not to overcook them, and they are too dry to eat with maple syrup. Instead use freshly squeezed lemon juice and raw turbinado sugar (or just plain white sugar).

125g (1 cup) wholemeal all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons raw sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten

  1. My mom has been making these for a few years. I usually smother them with butter, add a little syrup, and take with a full glass of milk. Sorts out the dryness issues in that “country boy” kind of way.

    Try adding blueberries or raisins to the mix. Cliche, but so for a good reason.
