In preparation for the Bake Off, the cooking club attempted some baking this afternoon and in the Spirit of Burns, we made some Jammy Jacks (because Robert Burns loved Jammy Jacks Of course!). We took the traditional flapjack recipe and added some strawberry jam in middle for an extra sweet taste!🍓
Pupils followed the recipe, step by step, using the scales to weigh out their wet and dry ingredients and mix them together into a sticky flapjack base. They layered half of their mixture into a greaseproof baking tray, added a layer of jam and topped with the other half of the flapjack mixture. ⚖We popped our baking in the oven to cook for 25 minutes. Then, tidy up time, which I must say everyone pitched in and gave and hand and soon enough, the hall was spick and span and all of our equipment was tidied away ready for next week’s recipe; Cheese twists🧀🐭.
This was such a super opportunity for us to practise some of the measurement learning we have been doing as part of our maths topic and have some fun learning a new recipe! Look out for Jammy Jacks coming home in tubs tomorrow! 😋😍
