This week Grade 5/6 made some delicious banana pikelets as part of our Oz Harvest unit. Not only has our knowledge of nutritious food increased, but also our cooking skills; using electric frypans for the first time. 

We also decided to incorporate a bit of science in our lesson, learning about chemical reactions and hypotheses (educated guesses).

Here is the recipe if anyone would like to try it at home:

1 cup of SR flour
1 egg beaten
¾ cup of milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
1 banana (mashed and overripe)

1 tablespoon of honey
Oil for frypan (we used cooking canola spray)

Method:

1. Mix flour, honey, egg, milk and vanilla essence with a fork until smooth
2. Add mashed banana and stir mixture wel
3. Heat frypan (with supervision) add oil or spray and spoon 2 tablespoon of batter to form small circles.
4. When pikelets bubble on top, flip them over and cook the other side till brown.
5. Serve warm or cold with cinnamon sugar or any topping if desired.
