Description
These fluffy golden pikelets are a beloved Aussie classic—perfect for morning tea, brunch, or an afternoon treat. Slightly thicker than pancakes and just the right size for snacking, they’re best served warm with a dollop of jam and a cloud of whipped cream. Whether you’re making a nostalgic batch for yourself or introducing them to new friends, trust me, these are impossible not to love. #PikeletPerfection #ClassicComfort
