“How quickly these sessions come round! So here we are again
with another outstanding cooking session. Today we made Cinnamon Buns as
requested by the students last week. This was a new recipe to me too, so
we all learnt together.
I chose a recipe from the BBC Good Food website
as these are trustworthy. The students showed that they were good master
bakers, mixing, kneading, proving, and shaping the dough.
While the dough
proved for an hour; we made Spicy Beef Empanadas and Spicy
cheese, sweetcorn, and bean Empanadas for the vegetarians that were in today.
This was a reverse to the usual routine of the savoury item being served at breaktime (rather than a sweet) as a power
brain boosting snack - they disappeared off the plate so quick I could not even
get to take a photo of them being enjoyed
The buns were glazed and dusted with cinnamon sugar or a drizzle
of icing. The smell in the room when they came out of the oven tantalized
my tastebuds so much that I just had to try one... well two!
Big thanks
goes to Ms Feltwell who supported today's session and was a brilliant; supporting students with shaping the dough and clearing up at the end of
the session.”
