LEMON PIKELETS

1 1/2 cups self raising flour
finely grated rind small lemon
1 tablespoon sugar
1 egg
1 3/4 cups milk
pinch salt


using an electric mixer, beat the flour, sugar, rind, egg, salt and 1 1/2 cups milk together until well combined.

cover bowl and let sit in a cool place for about 30 minutes so the lemon flavour has time to infuse.

when ready, using the electric mixer, beat in the other 1/4 cup of milk.

heat  a fry pan or griddle on medium heat. spray lightly with cooking spray or grease with butter.  spoon  1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons batter to form a circle. continue to spoon batter until the fry pan or griddle is reasonable full, leaving enough space to be able to flip.

once bubbles have formed on top and the bottoms are brown, flip each pikelet. cook till golden. remove from heat and place on wire rack. continue with rest of batter.

if browning too fast, lower heat.

serve warm or cold.

I used the really easy raspberry jam (recipe under this one)
and cream to serve.
