How to Make Cheesy Vegetable Pikelets

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C) to keep cooked pikelets warm.
  2. Grate 1 medium zucchini (about 1 cup grated) and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
  3. Finely chop 1/2 cup carrots.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the zucchini, carrots, and 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels (or 1 small red capsicum, finely chopped).
  6. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
  7. Set the vegetable mixture aside to cool slightly.
  8. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup cornmeal.
  9. Add 1 cup buttermilk and 1 large egg to the dry ingredients.
  10. Whisk until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  11. Stir in the cooled vegetable mixture and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  12. Gently fold until just combined.
  13. Lightly spray a non-stick frying pan or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  14. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or a large spoon, pour 1/4 cup of batter per pikelet onto the hot pan.
  15. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cook in batches if necessary.
  16. Transfer cooked pikelets to a baking sheet in the preheated oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
  17. Serve warm and enjoy!
