    Ingredients

    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)
    1. In a bowl beat together egg, flour, milk and vanilla essence. Add apple and carrot and stir well.
    2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Spoon pikelet mixture into pan to form small islands (see tips). Cook for 1 minute, then turn pikelets over with a spatula and cook for another 20 seconds. Repeat with remaining mixture.
    3. Serve with yoghurt and honey or maple syrup.

    Variations

    Instead of yoghurt, you can serve pikelets with low-fat cottage cheese.

    For a sweeter taste, use a mashed banana instead of apple. Note: the sweeter the batter, the easier it will burn, so watch pikelets carefully if using a banana.

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free flour.

    HFG tip

    For heart-shaped pikelets, place a metal heart-shaped cookie cutter in the frying pan and pour batter into it. Note: it has to be metal as plastic will melt.

    Decorate plate with mint leaves and a slice of apple shaped like a heart.
