How to Make Moody Pikelets

  1. Preheat your frypan over medium heat. Sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into a large bowl.
  2. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1 cup buttermilk (or substitute: 1 tsp vinegar/lemon juice + 1/2 cup milk), and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter.
  3. Gently whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay!
  4. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in fluffier pikelets.
  5. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the preheated frypan.
  6. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the hot frypan for each pikelet, leaving some space between them. Aim for pikelets that are approximately 6cm in diameter.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Watch carefully as cooking time may vary depending on your stovetop.
  8. Flip the pikelets when bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  9. Repeat until all the batter is used.
  10. Serve your warm Moody Pikelets immediately with your favorite toppings such as butter, jam, whipped cream, or honey.
