Home Economics Design Process

 Hello, Readers!

In my home economics class, we are making chocolate pikelets for our stakeholder which is my teacher.

The stakeholder my partner and I chose was my form teacher.

Me and my partner created a shopping list so our teacher could buy the food for us. We look up the costings on the countdown website. We made created a time management plan so we could finish our cooking on time.

Chocolate pikelets

Ingredients

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup low-fat milk

1 egg

3 tablespoons sugar 

1 cup flour

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 pinch salt

1 tablespoon margarine or 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Toppings

Chocolate syrup

Whipped cream

frozen berries

Method

• In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in milk, set aside.

• In a large bowl Beat egg and sugar together until thick and pale.

• Sift flour, cocoa, cream of tartar and salt together; Fold the dry ingredients into the beaten egg mixture alternating with adding the milk/baking soda mixture; Last, fold in the melted butter just till combined.

• Heat a greased frying pan and cook 1-2 tablespoonfuls of the pikelet batter until bubbles appear on the surface; Flip the pikelets to cook on the other side for 1 minute or until golden brown.

• We give the chocolate pikelets to our stakeholder and he said it tastes really good. He said that the chocolate sauce and whipped cream tasted really good with the chocolate pikelets.

• I think me and my partner did very well at planning and making the chocolate pikelets for our stakeholder. I like how we communicated with each other as we make the chocolate pikelets.
