Food Technology (Reflection)

LI: to apply our food technology skills to cook food and improve ourselves. 

Today we held our second tech session for the term at Tamaki College with Ms Heka.

Our menu today was, pikelets with ice cream and mixed berry syrup. To make this we needed to work in groups of three. My group had Leon and Spelman. 

The ingredients consisted of: baking powder, flour, eggs, milk, bananas and oil. First, we mixed the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder) together. After mixing the dry ingredients, we combined the milk and eggs. We mashed the bananas into a smooth consistency. This makes it easy to add into the mixture. 

After preparing the ingredients, Ms Heka instructed us to create the batter by mixing in the wet ingredients with the flour and baking powder. We mixed this until there were no lumps in the batter. Then we added the banana mixture to the batter. 

We set the batter aside and started the stove. As we waited for the oil to heat, we cleaned our kitchen. Then we started to put the batter on the pan, subsequently making pikelets.

Later on, when the pikelets were all made and there was no batter left, we put the pikelets in our containers. Ms Heka added the vanilla ice cream and mixed berry syrup onto our pikelets.

I enjoyed today's session of food tech because I enjoyed cooking food and working as a group. The food was delicious and I would like to make this dish again.
