Week 11

What a great morning we had baking hot cross buns and biscuits. Jane did a wonderful job of modelling the process and the students joined in to stir, knead and measure ingredients. This activity involved mathematical thinking, reading, science and technology.

The children also worked together on their sharing, taking turns and encouraging each other skills. All these attributes are wonderful Tall Learner goals. The buns were delicious and so were the biscuits.

Due to high demand here is the biscuit recipe-thanks Jane!
250 grams melted butter
2 cups flour
1 cup icing sugar
1 cup cornflour

Mix dry ingredients
Add melted butter and mix into a dough
Put into baking paper and shape into a log
Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden in an oven 150-160 degrees.

We chocolate dipped ours and used tiny piping bags Jane had made.
