Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure your buttermilk is at room temperature before using it.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pikelets tough.
  • Cook the pikelets over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pikelets will burn on the outside before they're cooked through.
  • Cook the pikelets until they're golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve the pikelets immediately with your favorite toppings.
