Chelsea Buns!

Today, the Year 8’s and I went to Tech for cooking class. My partner and I, Justice had a task to cook Chelsea buns.

This is how you make it.

What you need:

• ¼ cup of warm water
• ½ tsp Edmonds active yeast.
• 3 cups Edmonds high grade flour.
• 1 tsp salt.
• 1 Tbsp sugar.
• ¾ cup of warm milk.
• 3 Tbsp melted butter.

Filling:

• 50g butter, softened
• ½ cup of Brown Sugar

Method:

• Place warm water and sugar into a small bowl. Stir so that the sugar will be dissolved. 
• Add ½ tsp of yeast into the mixture and place it into a warmer for 10 minutes.
• Sift 3 cups of flour and 1 tsp of salt into a large bowl. 
• Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in milk, melted butter and the yeast. Beat with a wooden spoon until it forms a ball.
• Take the ball of dough out and knead until the dough is smooth. 
• Punch the dough in the center and then roll out to a 30 x 25 cm rectangle. 
• For the filling you will need to brush the rectangle with melted butter and spread the ½ of brown sugar on it. 
• Roll out like a sponge and using a knife to cut it out into 12 pieces and place it into a metal tray.
• Bake at 190˚C for 25 minutes or until it is golden.

Rainbow Fish!

1. Like the Rainbow Fish he was very selfish, but then at the end he became nice and shared his shiny scales with the other fishes.
2. Growing in virtues means showing high moral standards.
3. Growing in virtues can be seen or understood.
4. If you are not friendly to other people then they will not like you and they will not be your friends anymore.
5. It relates because the rainbowfish was selfish and he didn’t want to share with other fish and like people today they sometimes don’t share with other people too.

Wahlt: Recognize how people can grow in Virtues.
