Pikelets

The next thing we made in hospo was pikelets. As we had hospitality first lesson and it was pikelets we made, it seemed as if it was breakfast! We put our aprons on and washed our hands before being briefly told how to make the pikelets. I was working with Hope. The first thing we had to do was to put sifted flour and sugar into a bowl and combine buttermilk, egg, syrup and melted butter (it was meted in the microwave) We then whisked it into the flour mixture until it was smooth. The electric frying pan then heated up and butter was put into it. We used a cup to get the mixture and put it into the electric frying pan in pikelet shapes. Once bubbles appeared in the mixture we knew it was time to flip the pikelets or else they would burn. When Hope did hers they burnt a little bit. Mine ended up cooking well though. We were only supposed to make 4 pikelets but there was leftover mixture so we made one more each. This time both of them cooked really well. We then did the washing up.

The pikelets were put onto a plate and we got maple syrup on top as well as ice-cream. It all tasted amazing.
