Cheesy Hot Cakes

I've "borrowed" this recipe from Mel, but it's just too tasty not to share! Cheesy Hot Cakes are basically cheese pikelets, and would go well with grated vegetables in them. I'm thinking... grated carrot and zucchini, some diced capsicum, and maybe some grated turnip or kumara.

The recipe is incredibly simple:

Ingredients:
1 cup self-raising flour (or, as I did: 1 cup standard flour and 2t baking powder)
1 Tablespoon white/caster sugar
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup grated cheese

Method:
Sift together flour, BP, sugar and cheese. Stir milk and beaten egg together, and add to the flour. Mix until well combined.
Place tablespoons of mixture into hot, lightly greased frying pan. Cook until bubbles appear on surface then turn and cook until golden brown.

I cooked mine in our sandwich press - that way, I didn't need to grease a pan, so I could convince myself that they're just that little bit healthier! I think you could probably get away with less (or no) sugar in this recipe too - it's one of those recipes that is basically a batter that you can add anything you like to it!
