Pikelets With Berries

Directions

1. 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. 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. 3
   Then stir in the caster sugar and mix all the ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
4. 4
   Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan and drop in spoonfuls of the batter, spacing them well apart.
5. 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. 6
   Remove the pikelets, transfer them to a plate and keep them warm. The batter should make about 8 pikelets in total.
7. 7
   Once all the pikelets have been made, wipe the pan.

   Mix together the orange juice and arrowroot.
9. 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.
