Delicate and fluffy, these Pikelets offer a delightful taste of Scotland. More refined than a pancake but simpler than a crumpet, they are perfect for a comforting breakfast, a sophisticated afternoon tea, or a simple treat any time of day. Serve them traditionally with a dusting of sugar and a squeeze of fresh lemon, or indulge with butter and your favorite jam.

If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Pikelets are best served fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
For a richer flavor, substitute brown butter for melted butter.
