Chocolate Chip Muffins - Home Economics

Chocolate Chip Muffins 

Hi guys, for last week's lesson in cooking, we made some Chocolate Chip Muffins. I'm going to talk about this now because I don't want to interrupt you while reading this post. So what happened was while we were mixing the liquid ingredients together, we were suppose to melt the butter until it was like a liquid. So then we microwaved it but I didn't really saw what it looked like after coming out of the Oven because I was focused on doing something else. Once I was finished on what I was doing, I finally had the time to check on them and see if they needed some help. But when I saw the mixture, the butter still looked kind of kind of fluffy and thick. I told them to microwave if for a little bit because the butter was not melted at all but, there was one problem. The egg was already in the mixture and if we put the mixture in the microwave for a bit too long, the egg will start cooking. So. we had to start the whole entire process. We were keep on telling each other that we could do it because at that time, almost every group was ready to put their one in the Oven. We were doing it as fast as we could, but was making sure that we do it right. In the end, we were able to finish baking the Muffins on time. By the way, I couldn't take as much photos because we were so busy. 

Ingredients:

2 c of Self Raising Flour 
1/2 t of Salt 
1/2 c of Caster Sugar 
1/2 c Chocolate Bits 
100g of Butter 
1 c of Milk 
1 Egg
1 c of Mashed Banana (2-3)
Extra Ingredient given - 1 t of Vanilla Essence 

Method:

Mix Flour, Salt, Caster sugar & Chocolate bits in a bowl.

In a separate bowl melt butter then add milk, and egg beat to combine.

Mash & measure the bananas and add to liquid ingredients. 

Tip liquid mixture into dry ingredients. Fold Carefully. do not over mix.

Carefully spoon muffin batter into prepared muffin tins. ( line with paper muffin cases)

Optional topping: Mix 1 T sugar & 1/2 t  Cinnamon and sprinkle over top of muffins. Drop some Chocolate bits on each.

Bake at 220 Celsius for 12-15 minutes, testing to check if the muffin is cooked. Cool for 2-3 minutes before removing from pans.

Wananga / Decade Research

Hi guys, this past few weeks for Wananga, we've been focusing on a project called Decade Research Project. We started doing this Decade Projects 2 weeks ago. You could talk about a Famous Person, a Tragic event or an Achievement.

Here is a screenshot of one of the Slides that I have done. It's about the Russian Sleep experiment that caught my attention.

First P.E Blog Post

Hi guys, I'm going to be talking about the things that we did for P.E. What I tried doing were Table Tennis and Juggling. The first one that I tried doing was the Table Tennis. For the first few tries that I attempted, I found it hard to keep the ball on the table. Maybe the reason was that I was hitting the ball harder that I should be. After a lot of tries, I was slowly being able to keep the ball on the table and actually playing it properly. After playing a few more minutes, I went to the other side and tried doing Juggling.

I first tried juggling with some scarfs and it was hard to do. I didn't know when to throw the scarfs because it falls down too slow. I tried doing it with some bean bag balls so that it falls faster. I was doing it with just one hand so it was pretty confusing and it was my first time trying to juggle. I was only able to do it a few times but using two hands.

That was all we did for the period. Thank you guys for reading!

Here is a photo of me doing Table Tennis:

Hello, Goodbye, that was the topic that we had to write about for Wananga. I only did the 4 main things that I would probably miss.

Here is my writing:

Word Art about Lockdown

Today we created a Word Art in class and it had to be about the things that we did during lock down. We could write the emotions that we felt, the games that we played and a lot more. I think it was a good idea because we could just tell them using one word. 

Here it is and hope you guys like it:

Where does the Black Death fits in History? - Social Studies

Hi guys, for this blog post, I'm going to be showing you where the Black Death fits in History. In case you didn't know, the Black Death also known as the Great Plague was the most fatal Pandemic recorded in human history. It wiped almost 30% to 60% of Europe killing Millions of people.

I have created a Poster using Piktochart. I chose 9 huge events that happened in human history including the Black Death and I also added the date of my Birth. This is what the Poster that I have created looks like and I hope you guys like it.:

Whipped Coffee - Dalgona Coffee

This post is going to be about something that I have been making this past few weeks, It's the Dalgona coffee / Whipped Coffee. I have been making this during the lock down and so far, I have not failed. It's very easy to make and you can easily find the ingredients in your home. Anyway, I'm going to be telling you guys the steps on how to make Whipped Coffee.

Ingredients and Equipment:

2 T of Ground Coffee
2 T of White Sugar
2 T of Hot Water
A Bowl
A Whisk or an Electric Mixer

Get the Bowl then add the Sugar, Coffee, and the hot Water together. Let the Sugar and Coffee dissolve into the Water. Once it has dissolved, start mixing it with a Whisk or an Electric Mixer. Keep on mixing it until it looks nice and fluffy. What I normally do next is to just put some ice and milk into a clear glass cup then put the Whipped Coffee on top. Then after you do all of that, you're basically done.

So here are some picture of the recent one I've made:
