Narrative:

My clearance was initially to climb runway heading and to an altitude of 2000 MSL. After being handed off to approach they cleared me to give best rate to 4000 MSL. I initiated the vy climb when about 2200 to 2500 feet the engine briefly lost power. I leveled off to best glide and performed my air-restart emergency checklist. After the checklist was completed; the engine regained power and I requested a turn back to the departure airport for landing.approach granted my request and cleared me to make a left downwind for runway 15. Approach and tower asked if I needed assistance and I declined both due to the engine's recovery. The reason I am writing the report is during the restart procedure; I may have deviated from the original clearance of runway heading and climb to 4;000 ft. The way I could have corrected the possible deviation is more awareness to spatial orientation and to react more slowly; not rush through situations such as an engine failure to prevent a deviation from the original clearance.
