We love the school holidays here on the farm. Long days with time to spend colouring, drawing, reading, playing outside, and what ever else crosses our mind. All three kids are great at entertaining themselves, but sometimes they need Mum to plan an activity to break up the day, which is when I bring out my sure fire hit: pikelets.

One cup pikelets are the world easy activity, with the added bonus of eating at the end. Mix one egg, one cup of milk, and one cup of self raising flour together. Fry dollops of the batter in a little melted butter and then eat whilst hot with butter and jam or honey.
