Ingredients (Makes 3 servings)
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat milk of choice (125 mls)
- 1/4 cup water (62 mls)
- 1 tbsp reduced-fat Greek natural yogurt (15 grams)
- 1 free-range egg (50 grams)
- 1/2 cup plain wholemeal flour (60 grams)
- 1/2 cup buckwheat flour (60 grams)
- 1 tsp baking powder (2.5 grams)
- 1/4 cup currants
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries (30 grams)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (0.25 grams)
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (0.25 grams)
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves (0.25 grams)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (1.25 mls)
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar (12 grams)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (15 mls)
Method
- In a jug mix milk, water, yogurt and egg until smooth.
- In a bowl mix flours and baking powder. Remove 1 tablespoon worth of flour mix and place into a smaller bowl, mix with 2 tablespoons worth of the yogurt/milk mix to make a thin batter. Set aside.
- Add the currants, cranberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla and sugar to the flour mix. Add the yogurt/milk mix and stir to make a batter
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of the oil. Using the thin, small amount of plain batter you set aside, form three small crosses per serve in the pan. Then pour a spoonful of the fruity batter over the top of each of the 3 small crosses and cook until bubbles have formed on the surface. Flip over and cook for another minute or so on the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining oil, thin plain batter and the fruity batter until you have 9 hot cross pikelets.
Serve 3 pikelets per person.
