Pikelet Tray Bake
Here’s a twist on a favourite treat – a pikelet tray bake! Just as yummy as a pikelet but instead of frying individual servings, you pour the batter into a tray and cook in the oven. This recipe swirls jam as a topping over the bake but you could try variations on the recipe such as dropping berries on top, tinned apple or even sliced bananas. The finished pikelet tray bake can be served as a morning or afternoon tea treat, popped into lunchboxes or eaten as a special breakfast!

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flours, sugar, baking powder, bicarb soda and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs and margarine.
- Gently pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Try not to overmix to prevent the batter from becoming too tough.
- Pour the mixture into a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Drop small dollops of the jam onto the top of the mixture then swirl it through the batter using a knife creating a pattern on top.
