- Mix the eggs, flour, caster sugar and salt to a paste, slowly add the milk, mixing continuously until it becomes the consistency of paint. Split the batter into two and add the cocoa to one half of the mixture.
- 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.
- Serve with the chocolate cream sauce, hundreds & thousands, or your choice of topping.
