Healthy Quick Corn Pikelets Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1 400 g can creamed corn
- 2 tbs reduced-fat milk
- olive or canola oil spray
Method
- Mix flour, creamed corn and milk together. It makes quite a thick batter (more like damper than pancake mixture).
- Heat a large frypan and spray with oil
- Use a large spoon to dollop spoonfuls (about ¼ cup size) of batter into the frypan. Cook on a medium heat until golden brown on that side - about 3-5 minutes. They will puff up a bit too. Flip over and cook for another 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat until the batter is all used up.
Optional additions: Add an egg to make these fluffier and higher in protein Fresh, frozen or canned veg will bulk these up and make them healthier. Try tinned corn, frozen beans, grated sweet potato Add pops of flavour like pepper, curry powder, sundried tomatoes, chillies, italian herbs or olives Try a sweet spin on these by adding banana, frozen berries, tinned pears or other fruit. Eat them like pikelets!

These are a great lunchbox snack and keep well for a few days in a container in the fridge.
Note: these cakes are a bit squidgy when they’re hot, but become a fluffier texture once cold.
Healthy tip!
Having a party? Serve vegie sticks and water crackers with salsa rather than high-fat chips and dips.
