Love making pikelets and pancakes ... but struggle to make them the same size?

Well one Aussie mum has come up with an ingenious idea for making perfectly even, equal-sized pikelets - using a very unlikely utensil.

Sharing on the fabulous Mums Who Cook & Bake Facebook group, mum Kimche reveals how she uses a Panadol syringe to measure out 7ml, which is the perfect size for lunchbox-sized pikelets. 

Says Kimche: ‘I don't have any fancy pans or gadgets so I had to get creative to make mini pikelets look the same size. 7mls per pikelet exactly! Now a double batch ready to freeze for school and kinder lunch.’

Posting a video of just how she does it, Kimche’s method really does work - creating perfectly even pikelets. 

Adds Kimche: ‘I wanted them smaller so they would fit into the bento lunch box compartments. There is no way in the world i would be making them like this just to be devoured at breakfast!’
