Process Scones

On the menu was scones for one today. We enjoyed process cooking which as you guessed it, is all about the process rather than the product.  Process Cooking enables children to make their own food item from start to finish, rather than a larger recipe that we all share. 

Cooking helps with measuring skills, communication skills as we do it together, it helps children learn skills to promote independence and confidence.
Take a look at our super chefs.

"It's squishy"- Gracie said as she rubbed her ingredients together

"1 Tablespoon of Flour"

" 15 mls of milk into the mix"

" I like cheese."-Aria announced

 Children could pick between a sweet or savory scone.

"A pinch of baking powder"

As you can see, the final result was varied. Into the oven they went.

"I'll save mine"- Chloe said

I asked Eric what his tasted like- "Cheese"- he said

These scones looked delicious. Yum!

Gracie decided her blueberry scone wasn't for her " It tastes like slime."
Macy wasn't a fan of the taste of hers but enjoyed the process. 

Awesome mahi tamariki!
We can't wait to try this again.
