Pikelets - Home Economics

Welcome to another Blog-Post. This week in Home Economics we made Pikelets. 

I personally think that this week was very easy, this week was also the first time we used the pan. The instruction on the recipe were very easy to follow and understand. Our outcome Pikelets were very good.  I reckon my group and I worked very well together this week. 

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 t Baking Powder
• 1/4 t salt
• 1 Egg
• 1/4 c Sugar
• 3/4 c Milk

Method: 

1. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
2. In another bowl beat the egg and sugar with a whisk until pale and thick.
3. Add the egg mixture and the milk to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
4. Gently heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add or brush with a little melted butter. Drop tablespoonfuls of the mixture from the point of the spoon onto the surface.
5. When bubbles start to burst on the top of the pikelets, turn them over and cook the second side until golden. 
6. Place on cooling rack
7. Serve with a sweet or savoury topping. 

Tips:

One of the main tips we had to get right was to beat the egg and sugar until white, place and thick. It took a very long time to beat the egg and sugar and it was very tiring, but we each took a turn, we had to successfully complete that before adding milk. 

Sensory evaluation:

The pikeletes came out very good, they tasted very nice, the texture was soft and fluffy.
