Pikelets (Scottish Pancakes)
Delicate and fluffy, these Pikelets offer a delightful taste of Scotland. More refined than a pancake but simpler than a crumpet, they are perfect for a comforting breakfast, a sophisticated afternoon tea, or a simple treat any time of day. Serve them traditionally with a dusting of sugar and a squeeze of fresh lemon, or indulge with butter and your favorite jam.

01 Step
Recipe View
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-rising flour, sugar, and baking soda to ensure a light and airy texture. (2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Gradually pour in the lightly beaten egg and milk, whisking constantly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should be thick but pourable. (3 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Pour 2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot skillet for each pikelet, leaving space between them. (1 minute)
05 Step
Recipe View
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip gently with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom. (5 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Transfer the cooked pikelets to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet between batches as needed. (15 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh lemon juice and sugar, butter, jam, fresh berries, or whipped cream. (2 minutes)
For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Pikelets are best served fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
For a richer flavor, substitute brown butter for melted butter.
