Home Economics (kiwi baker)

This term in Home economics we have been doing the Kiwi baker.  Here are some questions we were given to answer.  

What did you bake?
We made Oreo cookies

What did you like about what you baked?
It tasted very good and it gave some learning experiences. The thing that i liked the most was the sweetness of the food we made and the crunch as well. 

Did you make any changes to the recipe you used?
Yes, We had to add a little more flour do make it in to a dough. 

What were the key skills that you learnt?
Communication because that was important so then we didn't add to much of an ingredient. 

Did you enjoy the kiwi bakers unit? Give some reasons.
Yes i enjoyed it because we got to try some different things and different combinations with the food we baked and we got to work with people that aren't in our form class. 

Scones Home economics

Last week for home economics we were making Scones.The first thing we did was got all of the dry ingredient's and put them all into a medium size bowl. Then we sifted all of the ingredient's to then it is all broken up and so then there are no unmixed ingredient's in the scones. We finely cut butter into the mixture until it resembled bread crumbs. Slowly added milk into the mixture and mixed it with a knife and our hands until lit formed a nice dough for the scones. We rolled the scones into small balls and then we placed them on the trey with baking paper and then we slowly covered them with a thin layer of milk. we baked it at 180c for 10 minutes (until it is golden brown) We let them cool and then we were to take them off the try and take them home (or eat them there). 

Home Economics

Over the past few weeks we have been learning how to cook different things and how to be safe and hygienic in the kitchen. We made a slide show to show you what we have learnt and maybe you can make them yourself at home. We made bread cases and chicken stir fry. We have learnt different skills and other things while taking this class and it has been really fun.
