Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the egg and sugar until thick.
- Add the egg mixture and milk to the sifted flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the melted butter last.
- Mix until smooth.
- Cook spoonfuls on a hot greased griddle or frying pan until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend. If you're out of skim milk, any milk can work, including almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option. Make sure to sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together to prevent lumps. Adjust the sugar to taste, especially if serving with sweet toppings like jam or sliced strawberries.
Serving Suggestions
Serve picklelets warm, topped with a pat of butter, a dollop of jam, or fresh sliced strawberries for a delightful breakfast or brunch. They pair beautifully with Aunt Sandy'S No-Bake Cookies for a sweet treat or a side of Peas And Peanut Salad for a refreshing contrast. For a heartier meal, enjoy with yogurt and fresh fruits.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover picklelets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a toaster oven or skillet over low heat until warmed through. Microwaving is also an option, but it may make them a bit softer.
