Recipe/techniques

- Find a recipe for your dish in English

- Look at all the techiques and baking words listed in the method

- Write them down in the next slide 

"Place the butter, caster sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, self raising flour and baking powder in a large bowl or in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat for two minutes until you have a smooth batter that drops easily from a spoon (dropping consistency)"

Beat, batter, consistency

Recipe words

Recipe

Now read the recipe attentively. If there is a video in your recipe watch that as well and make notes if needed. I you don't have a video, look one up on youtube to get a general idea of how to prepare your dish (might be different techniques than in your recipe, but doesn't matter). 

Recipe

- Save the recipe in a word document so I can print it for you

- Now adjust your recipe for at least 14 people 

- This will also be your shopping list 

- Send it to me [e-mail]
