Pikelets

Sift the flour, soda and sugar together in a medium bowl. Whisk the egg and milk together. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg and milk mixture. Slowly mix the flour into the egg mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Mix in the melted butter. Heat a frying pan on medium heat. Grease the pan with butter, adding more butter every time you add more batter to the pan. Drop the batter into the pan, cooking until bubbles start to form on the surface. This takes about 1 minute. Turn the pikelets over and cook til golden brown. Serve hot or even room temperature.
