Nourish... Delight, Murdoch Books, Australia, page 62, By soaking the batter overnight the grain is broken down, which results in a softer and more digestible pancake or pikelet. When made with wholemeal flours and low levels of fat, pikelets and pancakes are much denser than traditional ones."; "2007, Jane Lawson, Grub: Favourite Food Memories, Murdoch Books, Australia, page 23, To make the pikelets, sift the flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Lightly whisk the eggs and milk together, then pour into the well. Whisk to a smooth batter and allow to rest for 15 minutes."Synonyms: drop scone, Scotch pancakeAustraliaNew-Zealand
