How to Make Alphabet Pikelets

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) for extra crispy pikelets (optional).
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Make a well in the center.
  3. In a separate jug, whisk together 1 cup of milk and 1 large egg.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the well in the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest for 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in fluffier pikelets.
  6. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Avoid high heat, as this can burn the pikelets.
  7. Lightly spray the pan with olive oil spray.
  8. Transfer half of the batter into a small resealable plastic bag. Snip off a tiny corner of the bag to create a piping tip.
  9. Pipe 4-6, 8cm letters onto the hot pan, leaving some space between each letter. Experiment with different sizes and letter shapes!
  10. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  11. Carefully flip the pikelets and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown on both sides.
  12. Transfer the cooked alphabet pikelets to a wire rack to cool.
  13. Repeat steps 7-12 with the remaining batter, spraying the pan with oil between batches.
  14. Serve your warm alphabet pikelets immediately with your favorite jam or spread. Enjoy!
