Milk plays a huge part in many Australian households. In fact, we consume more than 2.5 billion litres of milk each year, which is not surprising since we drink, cook and bake with milk all the time. Now if you’re new to cooking and you love to incorporate the farm fresh milk at The Little Big Dairy, here are four classic Australian recipes that you should try:

Australian Pikelets

People might ask what a pikelet is, but for sure, you know exactly what it means because it was part of your childhood. Australian pikelets are simply miniature fluffy pancakes that’s traditionally served in Australia during tea time with some whipped cream and jam. Different families have their own versions of a classic pikelet, but one ingredient stays the same—milk. In fact, it’s one of the secret ingredients to making these small pancakes extra fluffy and decadent.

Pavlova

Here’s the thing: you can’t claim to be Australian if you haven’t tried pavlova at least once in your life. In fact, pavlova is the country’s national dessert, and one of its key ingredients is, of course, fresh milk. There has been a century-long dispute between Australia and New Zealand on what country really invented this decadent dessert. But whoever wins this dispute, we’re all winners with this delicious treat made with its meringue crust filled with a soft filling and topped with fresh fruits and whipped cream that’s best when made with milk.

Lamingtons

 If you’re one of those who doesn’t like fruits in your dessert, you’ll surely favour lamingtons over pavlovas. This sponge cake is cut into small squares, filled with cream and jam, and coated in decadent chocolate icing. To top it all off, it’s sprinkled with coconut for that extra crunch and savory flavour.

 

Vanilla Slice

 In case you haven’t noticed, Australians love dessert, and the vanilla slice can give both the lamington and pavlova a run for their money. The classic vanilla slice is exactly what its name suggests, layers of flaky pastry that’s filled with custard in between and covered in a rich vanilla icing made with fresh milk on top. Also called the snot block for obvious reasons, the vanilla slice is a must-try if you want to serve a local dessert to your guests.
