Servings: persons

125 g self-raising flour
25 g unsalted butter
1 large egg
125 ml low-fat milk
15 g caster sugar
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon arrowroot
350 g mixed berries, dried and hulled (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, washed)
25 g demerara sugar
300 ml double cream, low-fat is fine, to serve

1
Sift the flour into a mixing bowl, add the butter and rub into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
2
In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and the milk, then add the egg-milk mixture to the flour-butter-breadcrumb mixture.
3
Then stir in the caster sugar and mix all the ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
4
Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan and drop in spoonfuls of the batter, spacing them well apart.
5
Cook the pikelets until the surface starts to bubble, then flip them over with a spatula or egg-slide and cook the other side, for about 2 minutes.
6
Remove the pikelets, transfer them to a plate and keep them warm. The batter should make about 8 pikelets in total.
7
Once all the pikelets have been made, wipe the pan.
8
Mix together the orange juice and arrowroot.
9
Heat the orange juice and demerara sugar in the pan, stir in the orange juice mixture, add the berries and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
10
Whip the cream into soft peaks, divide the pikelets between 4 serving plates, top with spoonfuls of whipped cream and fruit and serve.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.

Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
