Notes
To freeze: Place cooled pikelets in single layers between baking paper. Place in a large snap-lock bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
To thaw: Thaw at room temperature overnight. You’ll need 1 cup mashed banana.
Cooking class: Picklets: Carefully drop 3 raspberries on each pikelet. Cook for 1 minute or until bubbles form on surface. Turn over. Tip: Bubbles on pikelet surface means pikelets are ready to turn over. The same applies to thick pancakes.
