Pikelets

In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center. In a small mixing bowl combine egg, buttermilk, and melted butter or margarine; add all at once to flour mixture. Stir just till moistened. (The batter should be lumpy.)

For each pikelet, spoon about 2 rounded tablespoons of the batter onto a lightly greased hot griddle or heavy skillet and spread to about a 3 1/2-inch circle with the back of a spoon. Cook a few pikelets at a time for a total of about 5 minutes, or till golden brown on both sides, turning to cook second sides when pikelets have bubbly surfaces and slightly dry edges. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm.
