1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

2.Sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda into a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the milk mixture until smooth.

3.Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until hot.

4.Grease the pan with a little butter or cooking oil, then drop 2 tablespoons of batter per pikelet into the pan, allowing room for spreading. When bubbles begin to appear, turn to cook until browned on other side. Transfer pikelets to a large plate and cover with a clean tea towel to keep warm.
