Ingredients for Apple Pikelets

  • Self Raising Flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 medium apple (about 1 cup grated), peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (any kind)
  • Butter, for serving
  • Powdered sugar, for serving
  • Cooking Spray
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

How to Make Apple Pikelets

  1. Preheat your griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Peel, core, and chop the apple into small pieces. Grate the apple using a box grater.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar.
  4. Add the grated apple, eggs, and milk to the bowl. Gently mix until just combined; don't overmix.
  5. Lightly spray your griddle or pan with cooking spray or add a small amount of oil to the surface.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pikelet, leaving some space between each.
  7. Sprinkle each pikelet with a pinch of cinnamon.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles begin to appear on the surface.
  9. Serve immediately, topped with a pat of butter and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
