Wholemeal Pikelets

After procrastinating for such a long time, i finally get to enjoy the bliss of a leisurely breakfast of healthy homemade pikelets. (:

Brother was my guinea pig :p The pikelets above were custom-made for him, thin with slightly crispy edges.

Those are mine, abit thicker and fluffier, topped with my favourite St. Dalfour jam and peanut better with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon and walnuts. The combo of honey and peanut butter dusted with cinnamon is delightful as well. (: Add a cup of hot tea to that and you’re nice to go.

Those little round pikelets tasted really wholesome but it was abit dry, shall have it with a fresh squeeze of lemon next time like what Infaredherring suggested.

This is actually my first time attempting pancakes/pikelets on my own. Despite the batter being easily whipped up in a couple of minutes, I’m not sure if I’ve got the right consistency. It was quite thick, making it hard for me to achieve evenly rounded and sized pikelets. Perhaps i should have used a larger egg? Or should i have used full cream milk instead of evaporated milk?

    to make sure its less dry and more fluffy or soft, use buttermilk instead, i hav tried using evaporated milk, full cream milk, fresh milk etc, but still abit dry, another thing to watch out for is the thickness n heat, if ur pouring in more batter in a smaller mould for thicker pancakes/piklets, u need adjust the heat lower n let is cook thru inside more witout burning both the surface

    but the secret to fluffy pancakes etc is buttermilk, try it

    supermarkets near me.. :/ shall get it soon!
