Lock Down Tech

Today I made Double Chocolate Chip Muffins for my lock down Tech. 

I used Mrs Bennett's recipe below and then added 1/2 cocoa and also 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.  Dad doesn't like fruit and I wanted him to try them.

Ingredients

Dry - 2 cups S.R flour of 2 cups plain flour + 4 tsp baking powder.

1 cup sugar

½ tsp salt

Wet - 100 g melted butter

 1 large or 2 small eggs

1 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla essence

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200degrees celsius. (I use fan bake)

2. Grease 12 x muffin tims well with oil or spray or line with cases.

3. Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl.

4. In a small pot, melt the butter over a gentle heat.  Add milk, egg and vanilla and fruit of choice, and stir well to combine.

5. Add the wet to the dry ingredients and fold with a fork to dampen the flour and combine...do not over mix at this point.

6. Spoon evenly into muffin tins.  Depending on the flavour sometimes I sprinkle over choc chips, coconut, cinnamon sugar etc.

7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until muffins are cooked in the centre and spring back lightly when pushed.

Profile

Hi, my name is Georgia and I am a year 6 at Matawai School. I live on a farm with my brother, Mum and Dad and my pet foxy Molly.   I also have three cats, Buck, Lucky and Lottie.

I think maths is challenging, especially working with money. I really enjoy writing and reading. This year I am trying to get better at Maths.

This year I am looking forward to playing soccer again. I want to challenge myself on the Senior bike ride. I am looking forward to sharing my writing on my blog.

Potato In A Bucket

 We are learning how to grow a potato in a bucket.

We had to use gravel, compos,t blood and bone, sand and  fertilizer.

We had to put the gravel in so the water could slowly make its way to the roots.

We had to put the gravel in first then the compost and finally our Potato.

As soon we buried the potato we put some more compost on top.

We are doing this is to help a virus that makes people lose memory. The money goes to a charity
