Batter too thin. It didn't work for me. Need the eggs and sugar beaten till thick to give it some substance. I didn't have metal rings maybe this would have helped.

Method
Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix gently until the dry ingredients have mixed with the wet ingredients.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan.
Place spoonfulls of the batter (making them into circles - you can use a metal ring) into the hot pan
When the pikelets start to bubble, flip them carefully & cook on the other side for a minute.
Place cooked pikelets on a paper lined plate unil ready to serve.
