We call them crumpets in the UK, flapjacks in SA and pancakes in the US, but in Australia they're pikelets and they're a perfect Australia day breakfast.
Ingredients
  • 320g (2 cups) flour
  • 125g (1/2 cup) sugar
  • 370g (1.5 cups) milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • pinch of salt
Compote
  • handful of berries
  • squirt of lemon juice
  • teaspoon of sugar
  • optional two spoons icing sugar
Instructions
  1. Put a frying pan on medium heat. Add ingredients to the Thermomix bowl, and mix until a smooth consistency is reached, approx 20 seconds/ speed 3.
  2. Make sure there are no lumps.
  3. Whether you add butter or oil to your pan here depends on your pan. Oil if needed.
  4. Spoon a tablespoon at a time into a hot frying pan, until it cooks through - you'll know by the bubbles forming on top. Flip the pikelets - crumpets, or pancakes, whatever you call them! - over to the other side so that they'll cook there too.
  5. Continue on till all the batter is finished.
  6. While you're frying the pikelets, make the berry compote.
  7. The details here are a little sketchy. I had a few left over bits of frozen strawberry in a bag, and squirted some lemon juice with a teaspoon of sugar into a pan on low heat, leaving it to simmer till it was thick, about 10 minutes. You can add extra sugar/icing sugar if you want it sweeter too.
  8. Pour over the pikelets and enjoy.
