Today we spent the last 3 periods of our school day today in home-economics class. In todays lesson we were supposed to make 'Queen Muffins' which were delicious and easy prepare. At the begining of the lesson we went through the dangers of food poisoning in the textbook for about 20 mins before starting on the cooking.The first thing we were instucted to do was to wash all the cooking equipment and utensils before starting the cooking process. After that we were told to gather round her table to watch and learn how to make the muffins with self-rising flour(sifted), butter, sugar, vanilla essence, rasins and two beaten eggs together. After what felt like an hour of whisking everything together we were ready to fill the cupcake cups with the cupcake batter and start with the baking. However, me and my cooking partner got a liitle greedy and decided to add more sugar, butter, flour and rasings to our mix, therfore we had to use an extra cupcake cup for everything to fit perfectly.There was not really much for us to do while we were waiting 20 mins for the batter to bake.We ended up throwing the extra rasins in the air and trying to catch them in our mouths but instead, most of them just ended up on the floor. When the baking was done our muffins were massive compared to our other classmates' muffins, probably because we had so much batter. I dont know if the teacher was being bias or she just forgot because we were the last group she marked. Anyway our muffins turned out rather well, better than i had expected and i got a score of 14.5/15, unfortunatly my partner only recieved a score of 13 if im not wrong, because he forgot to bring his apron, bandana and container. At the end of the day we had too many muffins and gave most of them to our classmate Kenneth. I really enjoyed the lesson today as i really prefer baking deserts to make oily fried rice. I hope that we will do more baking in the future.
