Making Pikelets

As one of the ways of practicing our procedural writing we looked at some pikelet recipes. We discussed and identified what was wrong with them then researched to make our own pikelet recipes. Then came the fun part: making the pikelets using our recipes.
Here are some of the recipes:

Ingredients:
1 cup of self raising flour
1 tablespoon castor sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 cup milk, or as needed.

Method:
1. Sift the flour into a medium bowl, and stir in the sugar. Make a well in the centre, and add the egg. Stir with a wooden spoon while gradually pouring in the milk until you reach the consistency that you prefer. Thicker pikelets will need a thick batter, while thin pikelets will need a thin batter. Stir in melted butter last, beating until smooth.
2. Heat a skillet over a medium heat. Coat with cooking spray. Drop by large spoonfuls onto the hot skillet. Pikelets should be about 5 centimetres across. Flip when bubbles appear on the surface, and cook until browned on the other side.
