Melting Moments I Can Cook

'I can cook!'

'I can cook!'

Oh, hello. Lovely to see you.

I'm just getting ready for today's recipe.

It's going to be delicious. I can't wait.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Come in!

Hello.

ALL: Hi, Katy.

Come in. Thanks for coming.

Do you want to know what we're going to cook today?

ALL: Yes!

Today's delicious recipe is...

Da-da!

Melting Moments.

-Now, doesn't that look tasty?

-ALL: Yes!

We're nearly ready to start, but there's one thing we need to do.

Do you know what?

ALL: Wash our hands!

# Roll up your sleeves

# Give your hands a wash

# With slippy dippy soap

# Splish, splash, splosh

-# Have you done your hands?

-Yes!

-# Washed and dried?

-Yes!

-# Sleeves rolled up?

-Yes!

-# Apron tied?

-Yes!

# What can you do?

# I can cook! #

Let's get cooking, everyone.

ALL: Yes!

To make Melting Moments, we need caster sugar...

-like this. And soft butter. Has everyone got those?

ALL: Yes.

So, we're going to add our soft butter to our caster sugar.

So pour it in.

We've got lots of little squares.

It came out.

Put your spoon in and hold your bowl still cos this is hard.

We're gonna give it a good whizz

to make it all sticky.

And we need to keep going

until all of the sugar has completely disappeared.

I love this!

Can you whizz it around like a cement mixer and make the sound?

Like this... Bzzzzzzzz.

ALL: Bzzzzzzzzzz.

That is excellent, guys, well done.

What do you think we need next?

Let's put you to the test.

Today's ingredient for you to guess.

What do you think it's going to be?

Let me give you some clues.

Now the missing ingredient breaks easily. So could it be...

a cup and saucer?

No, we don't want to eat one of those.

Now the missing ingredient breaks easily and it has a shell.

So could it be...

a snail? You don't want to eat a snail -

that'd be horrible. Eurgh!

Now, the missing ingredient breaks easily, it has a shell

and it has a yolk as well.

So could it be...

an egg? The missing ingredient is an egg.

Did you work it out?

We're going to need an egg for our Melting Moments.

Now let's see if we can find eggs in the garden. Come on.

'I can cook!'

'I can cook!'

Now this is the I Can Cook garden.

Where in the garden do you think we'll find eggs?

In the chicken huts.

Because chickens lay eggs!

-Shall we go and find chickens?

-ALL: Yes!

Come on, then. Let's go.

-Can everyone see the chickens?

-ALL: Yes.

These are a special type called Dark Dorking Bantams.

Now, how often do you think a chicken will lay an egg?

-ALL: Every ten hours?

-No, bit more.

One second!

A healthy chicken does lay an egg every one to two days.

The healthier a chicken is, the more eggs it will lay.

So what have we got to do?

Give it food and water.

Food and water. Who wants to go and find eggs?

-ALL: Yeah.

-Come on, let's go.

Who can see the eggs?

ALL: Me!

-Now what colour are these ones?

-ALL: White.

-Shall we take these back to the kitchen?

-ALL: Yes!

And now we've got our eggs, let's go back to the kitchen.

'I can cook!'

We're back in the kitchen, we've washed our hands.

We're ready to carry on, aren't we?

We're gonna take our egg and we're gonna knock on the door...

knock, knock, knock,

and then open it up with our fingers until the egg plops out.

And the yolk!

That's right, the yolk, Taylor. Can you knock on the door?

It all went on the table.

Don't worry, that's OK.

Good, good.

Now, has everyone got a fork?

ALL: Yes.

-Who's ready to whizz?

-ALL: Me!

Can you whizz at home as well?

One...two...three...go!

Oh! My arm!

Once we've mixed all our egg, like that,

we're going to add it to our mix.

But, we're only going to use enough egg

to make our mixture sticky.

So everyone, let's copy me and I'll tell you to stop. Ready?

Go...go...and stop!

Stop.

And we're gonna give it a stir everyone.

So get your spoon and stir it.

I like to mix.

It looks like ice-cream.

Why don't you pretend that you're stirring at home as well?

Like this with your arms.

Keep stirring, everyone.

Scrape it off your spoon.

Good, Alfie. That's excellent.

Now, it's time to add some of this.

It's called vanilla extract

and it's going to give our Melting Moments a very special flavour.

But it's really strong, so we're only going to need a tiny bit.

And half a teaspoon will do the trick.

Look at that.

Little bit more.

That's it, that's perfect.

And then put it in your bowl.

And now we're going to add the magic ingredient.

Who's ready for the magic ingredient?

ALL: Me!

It's self-raising flour.

Why is self-raising flour magic?

It makes it rise, the biscuit.

That's right.

Can you pretend to rise up in the oven like the biscuits?

Wooo-wooo!

Can you pretend to rise too?

OK, everyone. Take your flour

and pour it into your sticky mixture.

-All of it?

-All of it - every last bit.

And everyone take your big spoon

and now we have to give it a really good stir.

Taylor, what does yours smell like?

Hmm... Yummy.

Does it smell yummy?

Nadia, what do you think it smells like?

Vanilla ice-cream.

It's a bit messy, doing this, but it's loads of fun.

Look at my sticky fingers.

Who else has got sticky fingers?

-Mine are stickier.

-I'm all floury.

Now, we're going to take a baking tray with some baking paper on top.

Everyone got trays?

ALL: Yes.

And we're going to make six little balls on top of it.

So, with our fingers we're going

to take a little bit of the mixture off

and we're going to roll it around in our hand

until it's about the size of a bouncy ball.

What does it feel like?

-Eh, soft? Really soft!

-Gooey.

-It's squidgy.

I haven't done the ball because I squidged my ball.

And now, we're going to make it into a snowball.

Put it into your oats.

Roll it around.

Right, roll it around.

Right, who's got a snowball?

ALL: Me.

Put it onto your tray and show me your squishy hand.

-There you go.

-I've got both squishy hands.

Put your hand on and squish it.

-Not too flat. We don't want pancakes.

-No.

-There we go.

There we go!

-Mine's quite fat.

-That's excellent.

-Shall we make more?

-Yes.

So make another bouncy ball

and then roll it around in your oats

Alfie, that rolling's really good.

Well done, that's brilliant.

-Sasha...

-Yup?

..what's your favourite?

Um, my favourite part is rolling them into balls.

Now don't forget to leave a nice big gap between them

because the flour is going to make them grow in the oven.

Round and round the saucer.

Round and round the plate.

The Melting Moments are nearly done so not long now to wait.

That's it.

It's time to put our Melting Moments in a warm oven for 15 minutes.

And remember - with ovens beware, because it's hot in there.

So get an adult to help you. Come on!

That's it, bring them over.

Thank you.

'I can cook!'

Whilst our Melting Moments are cooking it's time to...

ALL: Tidy up.

It's always good to put away so we can use things another day.

So now, it's time to remember what we've made today.
