Well Pikelets are a type of food. They are like pancakes.

First you wash your hands before touching food. Then get flour, baking powder, a pan, egg, butter, sugar and a bowl, don’t forget a cup.

Next you sift 1 cup of flour, a teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt, in a bowl and mix it.

Finally you scoop the whisked batter into the pan with a big spoon. Then wait until the bubbles pop then flip the pikelets over, when they’re golden take the pikelets out of the pan. Now wait for them to cool down.

Now it time to eat the pikelets.
