Prep Time Cook Time Serves
15 mins 15 mins 20
Ingredients
  • 1 / 4 cup tomato sauce
  • 5 slices tasty cheese, cut into quarters
  • l 10 slices shaved chicken, halved
  • Pikelets:
  • 1 egg
  • 25g butter, melted
  • 3 / 4 cup milk
  • 2 tblsps tomato paste
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • Cooking oil spray

1. To make pikelets, whisk egg, butter, milk, paste and flour
in a large bowl until mixture
forms a smooth batter.
2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking oil. Spoon 2 tsps batter for each pikelet into pan, and repeat to make five pikelets. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 1 minute. Turn and cook until browned underneath. Remove and cover to keep warm. Repeat to make 20 pikelets.
3. To assemble bites, spread about ½ tsp tomato sauce
on one side of each pikelet. Sandwich pikelets together with
a tasty cheese square and folded slice of shaved chicken.

Tip: Keep pikelets, covered, in refrigerator, or freeze for up to two months, after placing them between sheets of baking paper. Thaw and reheat by placing on an oven tray in a moderate oven (180C) for 3 to 5 minutes. Pikelets can be made up to two days ahead
