Savory Pancake Pikelets [Y3K Recipes Issue No. 58]

Pikelet is a small and thick pancake that is common in Australia, which can be found in most supermarkets. Plain pikelet is usually served with spreads like butter, jam and vegemite. Well, perhaps I have transformed this little pancake into something that is unrecognisable to Aussies.

 

Other recipes from My Kitchen featured in Y3K Recipes Issue No. 58 are Open-face Savory Pancake, Tuna Puff, Flaky Shallot Pancake, Matcha Pancake and Banana French Toast. All these items can be served as breakfast or snack.
