Friday 5th February Clee and Earls Hill – Additional Activities

Look at the following pictures. Use them to retell the story in your own words.

Here is a recipe that you could use to make David and Goliath gingerbread biscuits.

 

Ingredients

  • 375 g Plain Flour
  • 1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
  • tsps Ground Ginger
  • 120 g Unsalted Butter (cold & cubed)
  • 175 g Light Brown Sugar
  • 5 tbsps Golden Syrup
  • 1 Large Egg

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 190C/180C Fan and line 3-4 Baking trays with Parchment paper (or do it in two batches if you only have two trays!)
  • Add the flour, Bicarbonate of Soda, and Ginger to a large bowl and add the Cold, Cubed Butter to the bowl –
  • Rub together with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs! (Or mix the four ingredients in a food processor till its breadcrumbs!)
  • Mix the sugar into the mix and combine, and then add the Golden Syrup and Egg – beat with a spatula/your hands until it is a smooth dough.
  • Knead the biscuit dough, and then Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
  • Roll it out to 1/2cm thickness and cut out your gingerbread men! If you do not have a big and small gingerbread man cutter, you can cut out big and small circles to represent the sizes of David and Goliath.
  • Place them on the lined baking trays and bake in the oven for 10-11 minutes, cool on a wire rack fully, and then decorate as David and Goliath.

You could use some time this afternoon to complete your David and Goliath home learning challenge.
