Bake With Miss J!

Hello everyone!

In the last lockdown I used some of the time to experiment and explore with my baking. I did a few live sessions of Facebook which were brilliant! This time, I have decided to add a short video to go with a new recipe! This means you can bake at a time that is convenient to you.

This week, I made Viennese Biscuits (see the recipe below). Baking is a great way to involve the family and the end result is always delicious!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l99s20gC78c&feature=youtu.be

PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE ADULT SUPPORT/HELP WITH USING THE OVEN, MICROWAVE OR WHEN HANDLING HOT TRAYS.

200g softened butter (I use stork)

100g icing sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla

250g plain flour

1 tablespoon of milk (maybe 2 if required)

For the decoration: 50g of chocolate (I use milk but you could use white or dark)

  1. Set your oven to 180 degrees, 160 degree (Fan) or gas mark 4.
  2. Set 1 or 2 baking trays on the side and place a piece of grease proof paper on top.
  3. In a bowl or standing mixer, beat together the butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the flour and vanilla and continue to beat until it resembles a crumble.
  5. Start off by adding 1 tablespoon of milk and beat the mixture until the crumbs stick together. You may need to add another tablespoon or two depending on how stiff the mixture is.

If possible…

  1. Place the mixture into a piping bag and pipe into biscuits on the prepared baking trays.

If not possible…

  1. Take a spoon and place a spoonful of mixture on the tray. You may wish to press down so it flattens the mixture.

Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden… do not worry if they seem pale. These biscuits are usually pale but DELICIOUS! Once baked, let the biscuits cool down.

To decorate:

  1. With an adult, melt the 50g of chocolate.
  2. Dip the biscuit into the chocolate to form a coating OR spoon the mixture on.

If you don’t want a lot of chocolate… melt 25g and drizzle the chocolate on top!

If you decide to make these biscuits please do send an e-mail to Eloise.jones@taw.org.uk – I would love to see how they turn out!

Stay tuned for another recipe!

Phonics support at home – reading App

Read with Phonics is an App that can be downloaded to support children at home. This is the closest model to the Read Write Inc programme we use at school. This can be downloaded from App Store for Apple or any android App Store.

The App is easy to set up and very user friendly. If you are having any problems please contact Lynne.sherry@taw.org.uk and I will do my best to help you.

Beech’s Base Head Teacher Award Children

Good Morning NJS!

Hope you are all well.  As we are still in bubbles we will still have to separate the children for HTA at Beech’s Base. Below is how it will be organised.

All children who have received a HTA will attend on Monday. Those who need to catch up from previous missed weeks can also attend this Monday 🙂

  • Children will need to come into school in suitable outdoor clothing not uniform. They can bring a change of clothes for afterwards if they wish, this does not need to be uniform. Outdoor shoes/wellies will need to be brought in, in a carrier bag.
  • A packed lunch will need to be brought in please.

Children will attend for half an hour with their time split between eating their packed lunch and toasting a marshmallow. This will allow us to be able to keep year groups separate. They will have half an hour playtime with their peers either before or after their time at Beech’s Base depending on the year group they are in.

If you have any questions please feel free to email me: jeni.kuczynska@taw.org.uk

Many thanks

Mrs Kuczynska
