Banana muffins

we started our banana muffins by mixing the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Then we add in the wet ingredients which includes the smashed banana and mix it all together to get a dough but don’t over mix the dough or it’ll look like a cupcake when it gets out of the oven. Put the dough into a muffin tin that has liners in it and make them even. bake them for 22 minutes then enjoy. the biggest part of this recipe is making sure you don’t over mix the muffins and the final product should have texture on the top if it and soft on the inside. i enjoyed these but wouldn’t make them again

scones

Today in class I made golden brown,, flaky, fluffy scones. I really enjoyed making them because I learned that sifting the dry ingredients first will make them have no lumps and mix the ingredients better. The method for this recipe is flour mixture, quick bread and biscuit method. I would have put berries in them but I feel like that would take away from learning how to make them perfectly. The goal was to have them the same size and golden brown which i’m happy with how mine turned out. overall this was a successful lab and I would totally make these scones again but maybe next time with berries in them.

Chocolate Chips Oatmeal Cookies

On February 4th we made a healthier version of chocolate chip cookies by incorporating oatmeal and using less sugar. The reason we made these cookies was to find a way to transform regular cookies into more healthy cookies. I learned that the cookies are a quick bread method, flour mixture and a drop cookie. One challenge for these cookies were trying to not make the cookies too dry from the oatmeal and one success was having moist, golden brown, chewy cookies. I thought they were good for a healthier cookie and didn’t taste any different except that there were oats in them for a different texture. I enjoyed making them / eating them and would recommend this recipe.

My Most Memorable Food Experience

My most memorable food experience is when my Nonna and I made handmade gnocchi together. we made it at her house, in her medium sized kitchen last may. we didn’t follow a recipe because it was in her head but my Nonna’s instructions were clear. she helped me pat down and roll the dough, then cut it into small squares. we then cooked them in a large pot on high heat until they were ready, put a tomato sauce on top of them and served them to my mom, sister, nonno. This is my most memorable food experience because it was a family recipe I didn’t know and I made it with my Nonna.
