Lesson 1

- explain goals and assignment

- Getting to know recipes --> test your knowledge

- show examples of recipes

- expand your vocabulary

- Do exercises (see Project Guide = projectboekje)

- Choose two dishes for your own recipes

Let's guess the following recipe!  2 min.

In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Add milk, butter and egg; stir until flour is wet.

Heat 12-inch skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles.

Brush the skillet lightly with oil.

In batches, scoop batter into the skillet.

Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly and the edges are dry.

With a spatula, turn.

Cook 2 minutes more or until golden.

Put it on a plate or keep warm in 225°F oven.

Repeat with remaining batter, brush the skillet with more oil if necessary.

skillet = gietijzeren koekenpan

What recipe is this?

Tips

• Use numbers to indicate the stages
   
• Use the base form of the verb (imperative) to give instructions (= gebiedende wijs)
   

• Use commas between things in a list. Use 'and' between the last two things.

Example of step-by-step directions

Step 1: Put the potatoes in a large pan of water. Bring to the boil, and then wait for 15 minutes. Drain well. Loosely wrap in a clean tea towel to dry and cool a little. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel the skins and coarsely grate into a bowl.

Words in bold = imperative (gebiedende wijs)

coarsely grate = grof raspen
