The Design Process- Cinnamon Crinkles

 Hello fellow readers and welcome back to today's blog post. It is about what we have been doing in Home Economics for the past week.

In Home Economics we have been doing something called the design process. For this, we had to find a stakeholder. Mine was for the principal we also had to do a shopping list, time management, costings, and a recipe. The purposes of the stakeholder were so once we had made the food they would be able to test the food we had made and then give us feedback on how we did.

In my group, we were making Cinnamon Crinkles the original recipe made 36 which was too many so we had to halve it so that it made 18.

Here is the original recipe this photo is from Margaret Fulton’s Baking Classics found on Pg32

Thanks for sending us the samples of your cinnamon crinkles. Mr. Goodfellow and I tasted them.

 

Lovely. The amount of cinnamon was just right for our taste, not too sweet, and I enjoyed the soft texture, they almost melted in the mouth. They were still slightly warm, which I thought added to the flavor. I wondered what they might be like cold.. probably just as delicious.

 

Keep up the good work.

Kia tau te mauri

I kept a piece of the biscuit to try cold.. it had a lovely light crunch and a great 'crumb' texture in the mouth... Tūmeke!!
