Green Pear Pikelets Recipe FAQs
Can I make the pear pikelets batter ahead of time?
You can make the batter 30-60 mins ahead of cooking but any longer the batter will become too thick and may need additional liquid. If you are making the batter ahead, store it in the fridge in an airtight container.
Can I substitute the pear with an apple or a banana in this pikelets recipe?
I have tested this recipe with both apple and banana and they both work well. The banana results in a slightly thinner batter and thinner pikelet.
