Step 1

Sift flour and salt, add sugar, drop unbeaten egg into the middle of the bowl and stir.

Step 2

Slowly add enough milk to make a thick batter. Beat well until smooth.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat, melt half a teaspoon butter and drop heaped tablespoons of mixture into the pan.

Step 4

I cooked about five pikelets at a time. When bubbles appear on the surface, turn the pikelets (muttering and cursing and chasing them all over the pan) and allow to brown on the second side.

Step 5

Transfer pikelets onto a plate and cover with a cloth while you finish cooking the remainder.
