Making ANZAc biscuits

Making ANZAC biscuits
Today Room 9 made ANZAC biscuits. The night before our teacher went to the supermarket and bought some ingredients. We were separated into 4 groups and were given jobs to do. Before we started cooking we had to wash our hands so that germs won’t get into the mixture. Our jobs were Measuring, Mixing dry ingredients, Mixing wet ingredients, Washing the trays, scooping the mixture onto the tray and taking photos. First we measured in the dried ingredients which were ½ cup flour, ½ cup sugar ( brown sugar),
¾ cup of rolled oats and ¾ desiccated coconut. The smell of the coconut smelled delightful and made me hungry. Jasmine ( the dry ingredients mixer ) mixed the dry ingredients until it was all combined. As we were mixing we could see the other groups getting on to with their ingredients.
Inotia and I mixed the wet ingredients which were 1 tablespoon of golden syrup and 100 grams of butter ( melted ).  We had to mix the golden syrup and butter in a separate bowl then added the wet mixture to the dry. We all  had turns mixing while Nazella, our photographer was taking photos of our group cooking. Our tray greaser, Irys greased a tray with the leftover butter we used. Inotia and I helped out with the scooping. We made 16 biscuits so that everyone in our group got 2 biscuits each. We used different sizes of spoons to get a good shape. Other groups got creative a used different shapes rather than just round biscuits. We heated the oven to 180 degrees celsius and placed the tray of biscuits into the oven to bake for 15 minutes. During Kiwi Can we let the biscuits cool down so they won’t fall apart when we cut into them. Mr Wong cut up the big biscuits and put sixteen biscuits on each plate. We all got a paper towel and got biscuits from our plate. We got on with our work as we ate. The biscuit was very crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. I could really taste the coconut and the sugar. I enjoyed making and eating ANZAC biscuits.
