Alison’s mum’s pikelets
My Mum had a white china bowl that was quite deep and not too wide at the top, the outsides didn’t slope but kind of stepped down, great for holding on to, I remember that the glaze had crazed in the bottom but was still fine to use. I wonder what happened to that bowl and the other depression pieces that Mum used! Here is the recipe, in Mum’s words.
