How to Make Pikelets With Berries

Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C) to keep pikelets warm while cooking.
Sift 150g self-raising flour into a mixing bowl. Add 50g cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, and rub into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 150ml milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of caster sugar.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a heavy-based frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
Drop spoonfuls of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the hot pan, leaving space between each pikelet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface.
Transfer cooked pikelets to a baking sheet in the preheated oven to keep warm.
While pikelets cook, prepare the berry sauce: In the same pan, combine 100ml orange juice, 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder, and 2 tablespoons demerara sugar. Whisk until smooth.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
Stir in 200g mixed berries (fresh or frozen). Cook for another minute, or until heated through.
Whip 200ml heavy cream to soft peaks.
Serve warm pikelets topped with a generous spoonful of whipped cream and berry sauce.
