Whether you're into bush tucker or not, these delicious wattle pikelets are really worth 
a try. They have a slightly sweet flavour along with a delicate wattle fragrance, but best
of all they're truly Australian.

Ingredients:

1 cup Wattle Flowers
1 cup SR Flour
1 Egg
1/4 cup Castor Sugar
3/4 cup Milk
Butter or Margarine

Warning
Only choose wattle that tastes sweet and slightly perfumed. Bitter tasting flowers should
be avoided. Use only wattle (Acacia spp) to make these pikelets - DO NOT substitute 
other native flowers.

Method:

Pick enough flowers to fill one cup (discard the stems). Place the wattle, flour, egg, 
sugar and milk into a bowl and mix until the batter is smooth and all the lumps have 
disappeared - apart from and except the pieces of wattle. Melt butter or margarine in a 
frying pan. Add the batter 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn pikelets once when bubbles 
appear. Serve with butter and jam.
