Pikelets

Ingredients

1 c Plain Flour

1 t Baking Powder

1/4 t Salt

1 Egg

1/4 c Sugar

3/4 c Milk

How to make pikelets is basically similar to making pancakes, first, we had do the Mise En Place before proceeding to the next step. We had to then make the batter, the egg and the sugar were beaten in a seperate bowl, we continued to beat it until the mixture was pale and thick meaning it should be sort of white coloured. In another seperate bowl we mixed and sifted the dry ingredients then we added a little bit of milk in it, we then poured the wet and the dry ingredients together on a bigger bowl and mixed it. But we made sure we don't over mix it otherwise the batter would be too tough and not soft when bitten into it.

Now we cook the pikelets, first we preheat the pan to medium heat to melt the butter on the pan to prevent it from sticking. We used a parchment paper to spread the butter for being safer and not to burn ourselves, then the batter was then dropped using a spoon. We had to use all the batter and made sure it had to be the same size which was difficult since we had problems throughout. We first did the first drop for testing, it turned out well so we knew it was the right temperature for us to start dropping the rest of the batter one after another. We had to change the temperature down a little to prevent it from getting burnt.

After cooking and using up all the batter, we then evaluated it. The taste of the pikelets were a little too sweet but the batter was just soft, not too chewy and the saltiness was perfect. The colours were pleasing and quite appealing, it was a great experience and i would love to make them again within the future.
