  4. Pour approx 2 tbsp of batter into a hot, flat, buttered, pan. The batter should make approx 4 inch/100mm circles. You can cook several at a time. After about two minutes the pikelets should be loose. Tease the edges and then flip them with a spatula to cook the other side for approx one minute.
  5. Serve with the chocolate cream sauce, hundreds & thousands, or your choice of topping.
