I love to encourage my children to cook, the easiest way is by getting them to bake some cakes and biscuits.
Today, J wanted vanilla hearts, so we set out to bake it. I knew I had it done wrong but for the life out of me I could figure it out. The dough was too grainy, as if there was too much sugar.
Baked them, they melted into just one huge cookie, as they cooled, it could be snapped into pieces. It should have been 'melt in your mouth' kind of shortbread.
After a cuppa, after our lunch, I went over the recipe book, lo and behold, I should have added 225g of flour. I only added 150g. As for the sugar, it should have been 125g, I put in 150g.
Someone needs to go to specsavers!
Any cooking mishap?
