Today , for Home Economics lesson , everyone in the class had to make Queen Cupcakes. The ingredients needed were self-raising flour , butter , sugar , eggs , vanilla essence and raisins. My first impression of the lesson was it was going to be quite tedious as we needed to heat the things in the oven. Luckily , i was wrong. Instead , the lesson was very enjoyable as we could experience using the mixer , mixing everything together with a mixer. Of course , all good things has to be shared so my partner , Faizur , took turns to use the mixer.
First , we sift the flour into a mixing bowl to obtain the flour. Then we mixed the butter and sugar together. After that. We added the egg which are mixed with the vanillla essence. We add a small amount of the mixture to the butter and sugar mixture each time to ensure that it does not turn out too watery. Next , we added the flour little by little. To our horror , after comparing our product at this stage with others , we found that we had an unusually small amount of flour. We thought that we have done it wrongly.This time the mixer was not needed. We used the spoon and stirred the mixture in the shape of an inverted letter 'C'. We then added the raisins. We added a little less raisins to our mixture as both my partner and i dislike raisins. We then divided the total mixture to 6 cups. We shared an oven with one other pair. We put the cups onto the tray and put it in the oven.
After 20 long minutes of containing our excitement , our Queen Cake were ready. Our stomach were already grumbling. But of course , we had to show Miss Hashima for the grading of our Queen Cake. We were jubilant after we were given full marks! We thought we had gone wrong somewhere in the middle. But of course , we had to wash up all of our equipment. Miss Hashima is very particular about cleanliness. Well , all good things come with a price. We had to stayback to ensure that the kitchen was super clean. I packed my things and put my Queen Cakes in my container.
The Queen Cakes that my partner and i made were really delicious. I Enjoyed the Home Economics lesson!
