Hi guys, so I’m now a Youtuber! Sorry for the delay, we’ve been having memory capacity issues with the blog. So watch this first part (sorry for the volume issues in a workshop) and I’ve prepared a question sheet for after. When the memory issues are resolved I can upload the question sheet. Enjoy as you follow me on the journey of making a wood burning stove! Copy and paste this link into your browser bar!   https://youtu.be/bPjr0zNGlvQ

Food technology – Short bread Elephants / Easter Egg

Ingredients

• 200g/7oz unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into small cubes
• 100g/3½oz sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
• 300g/10½oz plain flour, sifted, plus extra for dusting

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3 and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Mix together the butter and sugar, either by hand or using an electric hand whisk, until pale and smooth. Gently mix in the flour until completely incorporated (try not to work the flour too much or the biscuits will not be so crumbly). Using your hands, squeeze the mixture together into a ball of dough. (See tip for additional fillings)

Gently roll the dough out to about 5mm/¼in thick (dust the work surface with a little flour if the dough sticks). Cut into shape using a biscuit cutter. If you have an elephant cutter shape you are lucky!!! 😉

3. Or you can make Easter Egg shapes. Use your imagination! Be creative.

4. Transfer the biscuits onto the baking tray and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to rest. (See tip for alternative method)

5. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until pale golden-brown.

6. Decorate with icing, smarties or sprinkles.

ICT – You can go on your Ipad, tablet, mobile… and choose one of the games you like most. You don’t know what to choose from?  If you go to ICT/ technology sections there’s some apps you can use.

Music – Go to the Music section and choose one of the activities that your Music teacher prepared for you. Have fun J

I hope you enjoy your day! Stay safe!
