Ingredients

  • 1½ cups (375ml) reduced fat milk
  • 1 egg, lightly whisked
  • 1½ cups wholemeal self-raising flour
  • ½ cup white self-raising flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon mixed spice
  • 450g can crushed pineapple, drained

Method

  1. Place the milk and egg in a large jug and whisk to combine
  2. Combined flour, sugar, and mixed spice in a separate bowl. Add pineapple and carrot and gently toss to combine
  3. Make a well in the centre. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and use a whisk to stir until a smooth batter forms
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 mins to rest
  5. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Spray with a little canola oil spray

Turn and cook for a further 1 min or until light golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter and more canola oil spray to make approximately 20 pikelets or 12 larger pancakes.
