📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pikelets are pancakes smaller than your palm, beloved in New Zealand homes. Said to be one of the first things children learn to cook, they're good even cold, so they go into lunchboxes and picnics and appear at tea time. They're topped with jam and whipped cream or spread with butter.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On an afternoon in a New Zealand home, a child cooks little pancakes on a hotplate and sets them out with jam, cream, and tea.
