Hello Everyone,

Good job this week. We took another crack at making cake with eggs this week. Overall it turned out very well. We did it this time directly compared to box cake. You had the opportunity to see the differences between a convenience mix and from scratch. We will discuss next week about what we would choose, why and when we might change our mind. We also made pancakes. We separated eggs to create stiff peaks egg whites to add mechanical leavening to our batter. This resulted in a much poofier and airy end product. We also started to cook with the stove top. This gave you the opportunity to try and manage the heat transfer to your food. This is a foundational skill in cooking as it requires attention, forethought and experience to master.

Have a great weekend.
