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 the pieces of wattle. Melt butter or margarine in a frying pan. Add the batter 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn piklets once when bubbles appear. Serve with butter and jam.
Warning Only choose wattle that tastes sweet and slightly perfumed.
Bitter tasting flowers should be avoided. Further reading Jackie French has a new book out titled How to Guzzle Your Garden .
