Believe it or not, this morning was the first time I have made pikelets. They were absolutely fab cooked fresh but we only needed about 4 between us.
So I have refrigerated the batter and my question is ... should I have made a whole batch and frozen them, or will the batter keep OK (and more importantly still make fluffy pikelets) in the fridge for use over he next couple of days? I am not sure if the active ingredient in the baking powder has a shelf life as such? Guess it could be flat pikelets tomorrow! ------------- Caroline, SAHM to 2 boys, S (4 years old) and J (2 years old)

Yummy, love pikelets!!
I've never kept the batter or frozen them so can't answer those questions for you, however I do keep them in an airtight container for a couple of days once cooked and they always last fine - a quick zap in the microwave will freshen them too. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I make pikelets up and freeze them for the kids, they thaw (or nuke) pretty well ------------- Lindsey

I made some batter up soon before going into labour. Seemed to last a couple of days in the fridge without probs. -------------  |

I would tend to make them up and freeze them- mainly because the pikelet batter I use has quite a bit of air in it and I would worry that it would flatten in the fridge. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

| I make batter up & do a batch & stick the batter in the fridge it I don't use it all & do them later or next day. I have made pancake batter up the day before to save time & used it the next morning. |

Good old Edmonds...SO EASY AND YUMMM!!! 
1 Egg 1/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup Milk (about) 1 cup Flour 1 tsp Edmonds Baking Powder 1/4 tsp salt 25g (1 oz) butter optional Beat the egg and sugar until thick and add with the milk to the sifted flour, salt and baking powder. Lastly add melted butter. Mix until smooth and cook in spoonfuls on a hot greased pan. ******** I like to ass 1/2 tsp of baking soda too, it makes them a bit fluffier  ------------- http://lilypie.com">
