Butter Making.

A few days ago at school, I made butter and bread. For the recipe it was cream and we got a jar with a button, and we shaked it until it became yellowish, and a bit odd looking compared to cream. It took 31 minutes of shaking. It took two cups.

The cream kept on leaking from the jar, so then we had to get a towel and shake it. We also had a button and I think it was a wooden button, or a I think a button made out of bones. I think it was a button, I'm not to sure.

 

Bread Making.

For bread making the recipe was to get a pinch of salt, 80 grams of butter, chilled, cubed. 185 ml  (3/4 cup) water. 

Step 1.

 you'll need to preheat the oven to 200 degrees c. line a baking tray non-stick baking paper. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Step 2.

Add the water to the flour mixture and use a round bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix until the mixture just comes together, adding 1-2 tablespoons extra water if the mixture is a little dry. Use your hands to bring the mixture together.

Step 3. 

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. Shape into an 18cm disc and place on tray. Use a sharp knife that has been dipped in flour to mark 8 wedges on top. Dust the damper with a little extra flour and bake preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the damper is cooked through and sounds hollow when tapped on the base. Transfer to a wire rack for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
