Yesterday the year 5 and 6 children prepared the vegetables and pastry for our Tudor pasties.
Where possible, everyone had a go at chopping the vegetables (potatoes, carrots and onions) using the bridge and claw techniques we practised earlier in the term. They also made the pastry from scratch using butter, flour, a pinch of salt and some cold water. The pastry was then rolled into a thin circle.
This morning we will be assembling individual pasties, which will be baked in school.
The children were absolutely amazing and it was great to see them using the techniques they had been taught, not only safely but also effectively.
Well done everyone!
