This morning you had the opportunity to bake some shortbread for the whole of Primary 5. Each group had to start from scratch and weigh out all of the ingredients before following the recipe. How closely did you follow the recipe? Did you follow the steps carefully? After all the mixing, it took a little time getting the consistency of the mixture right but we got there in the end.

After all the preparation was completed everyone had to tidy up and we had a few people washing the dishes for the first time. Maybe now you can help out at home!

We waited until this afternoon to try your shortbread so as not to spoil your lunch. What did you think of it? Would you be able to make it at home? If you would like a copy of the recipe, please ask.

P5H were making  cranachan for us all. This is a traditional Scottish dessert. Well done to all of you who tried it …… even when you weren’t so keen to do so! Some of you thoroughly enjoyed it and had a second helping.

As always, here are a few photographs from this morning.
