Ingredients

Maple butter

Method

1.Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
2.In another bowl, whisk egg and sugar until pale and thick.
3.Add the egg mixture and milk to the dry ingredients, then mix until just combined.
4.Gently heat a frypan and add knobs of butter. Drop tablespoonfuls of mixture into pan.
5.When bubbles start to appear on top of pikelets, turn over and cook the second side until golden. Continue until mixture is used up.
6.Serve with maple butter and blueberries.

Maple butter

7.Pour maple syrup in to a small saucepan. Bring to the boil and continue to cook for about 10 minutes (this should take the maple syrup to soft-ball stage or 240°C).
8.Remove from heat and add butter, stirring until melted.
9.Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until the butter is thick and creamy – this should take about 8 minutes.
  • This butter keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for at least two weeks. Serve it over pancakes, waffles or crumpets.

Buckwheat pikelets with honey-sweetened lemon curd

These beautifully rustic buckwheat pikelets are best enjoyed straight from the pan and are wonderfully light and fluffy to eat. The buckwheat flour gives a lovely earthy flavour – the perfect partner for the zesty homemade lemon curd. Photograph, props and styling by Eleanor Ozich.
