What’s a pikelet you say? Well, it’s the adorable little cousin of pancakes. The sweet little sibling of crumpets.
Crumpets are made using a ring mold so they are perfectly circular. Pikelets are made using the same batter, only without a mold and smaller.
They are basically a little pancake but come on, you know pikelets sounds way cuter.
If you aren’t accustomed to working with sourdough and don’t have a starter I recommend King Arthur Flour for a great resource. My starter was actually purchased from them but they also have recipes for making your own.
SOURDOUGH CINNAMON PIKELETS
2 cups sourdough starter, unfed/ discard
2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Whisk all ingredients together until well combined.
Heat a griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with melted butter or oil.
Drop spoons of batter onto griddle and flip when covered with bubbles.
Continue to cook on second side until cooked through and lightly browned.
Serve with butter and jam, syrup, berry syrup, or just fill your kids hands with them as soon as they’re cool enough to handle!
I freeze leftovers and toast for quick breakfast or snack.
