0:00:25 > 0:00:29# I can cook! #
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Hello! Good to see you!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41I was getting everything ready for today's recipe.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44It's going to be such a good one. I can't wait!
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I hope you'll join in with the cooking too.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- KNOCKING - Aha! Come in!
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hello, Katy.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- Renee, hi. Lucy, hello. - Hello, Katy.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, Jashmi. Hey, Karim. Hello, Zainab.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Thank you for coming. Do you want to know what we're cooking?
0:01:04 > 0:01:05ALL: Yes!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07OK, I'll tell you.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Today's recipe is...
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- blackberry bites. - ALL: Mmm!
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Before we get started, there's something we have to do.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18What is it?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20ALL: Wash our hands!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22That's right.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Off you go.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30# Roll up your sleeves
0:01:30 > 0:01:33# Give your hands a wash with slippy-dippy soap
0:01:33 > 0:01:35# Splish, splash, splosh
0:01:35 > 0:01:38# Have you done your hands? Washed and dried
0:01:38 > 0:01:39# Sleeves rolled up
0:01:39 > 0:01:41# Apron tied
0:01:41 > 0:01:44# What can you do? I can cook! #
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Let's get started.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52The first thing we need to do is some weighing.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56We'll weigh some self-raising flour.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- What does self-raising flour do? - Makes it rise.- That's it!
0:02:00 > 0:02:05Shall we all pretend to rise up, like this? Ready?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Oooooooh!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10And that's what it does!
0:02:10 > 0:02:15We need to weigh some self-raising flour for our blackberry bites.
0:02:15 > 0:02:21These weights weigh the same amount as the flour we'll use.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22We'll put these on here.
0:02:22 > 0:02:29Then we'll put the flour on this side until the scales balance out
0:02:29 > 0:02:33and this little red point here reaches the middle.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Can you see?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38It's a bit like a see-saw. Have you been on one?
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- ALL: Yeah. - Can you pretend to be some scales?
0:02:42 > 0:02:46You put the weights on one side and the flour on the other
0:02:46 > 0:02:51and you keep going until the scales balance like...
0:02:51 > 0:02:54that! Who wants to play a weighing game?
0:02:54 > 0:02:55ALL: Me!
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Zainab, you'll help me here. Everyone else,
0:02:58 > 0:03:02say if we need more or less flour.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05You can join in with this at home.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Here's our self-raising flour.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Put the flour onto the scales and everyone else
0:03:11 > 0:03:13tell us if we need more or less.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15ALL: More!
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Keep going! What do we need to do? - ALL: More!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Keep going, Zainab - we need much more!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Oh, no! What now? - ALL: Less.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25We need less.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Just a tiny bit less.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Oh, oh, oh, careful! Have a look. See.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I think we need a teeny tiny bit more.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40We did it! Give yourselves a clap!
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Yeah!
0:03:42 > 0:03:46And thank you for helping with our weighing too.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Next, we need to get some lovely, soft, sticky butter,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53and put it in with our flour.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Ooh, look at that.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I hope this flour and butter isn't ticklish
0:03:58 > 0:04:01because we'll give it a really good tickle!
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Who likes tickling? - Me!
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Get your tickly fingers ready. Tickle, tickle, tickle!
0:04:07 > 0:04:11As soon as we put the butter in, it just disappears.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15And what happens? It goes crumbly.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Look how crumbly mine is. - Look how crumbly mine is.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Tap the bowl, like this, all the lumps come to the top
0:04:23 > 0:04:27and you can tickle those, too.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33That's it, then tickle it! You can tickle at home, too, like this.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Tickle, tickle, tickle!
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Give it one last really good tickle.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Tickle, tickle, tickle!
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Perfect!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Let's put in some caster sugar.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50Caster sugar is different to sugar you use at home - it's finer.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53The granules - the tiny bits - are smaller.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55What does it look like?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Snow.- Lovely shiny snow.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- Do you think it'll make our blackberry bites taste sweet?- Yeah!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Let's pour in our sugar.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Then give it a mix with your spoon.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I love mixing.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- Why do you like mixing so much? - Because it's soft and smooth.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21It's amazing how the sugar disappears as soon as you put it in.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23What do we need next?
0:05:23 > 0:05:30What is next? Well, let us see if you can guess what it could be.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Keep going, guys. It's looking really good.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Let me give you some clues.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38The special ingredient is black.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Could it be...
0:05:42 > 0:05:45..a pair of shoes?!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Eurgh! We don't want to eat a pair of shoes!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50We'll try again.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52The special ingredient is black
0:05:52 > 0:05:57and you might see it if you go for a walk in the countryside.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Could it be...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03..a black horse?!
0:06:03 > 0:06:08We don't want to put a black horse in our cooking! That's not nice!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10We'll try one more time.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12The special ingredient is black,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16you might see it if you go for a walk in the countryside
0:06:16 > 0:06:21and...it's a type of berry.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23So it must be...
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Blackberries! We need blackberries in our blackberry bites!
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Let's find out more about blackberries on my computer.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Let's go, guys.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I'll sit here.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Everyone comfy?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Blackberries grow in hedgerows
0:06:46 > 0:06:51and are ready to be picked in late summer and early autumn.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55They look like lots of small berries packed tightly together.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59When they start to grow, they're small and green
0:06:59 > 0:07:02but soon they turn red
0:07:02 > 0:07:06and it's when they go REALLY dark and look fat and juicy
0:07:06 > 0:07:09that they're ripe and you can pick them.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Wow. That was amazing.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Let's get back to the cooking.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25We'll use fresh blackberries, which we have here.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26What do they feel like?
0:07:26 > 0:07:31- Soft.- Squashy.- They're nobbly, too.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Let's put our blackberries into our mixture.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Then give them a quick stir - but only a couple of stirs -
0:07:38 > 0:07:41we don't want to mix them up too much.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Now we'll add buttermilk.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48That's the milk left over when butter is made.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50You can use ordinary milk.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55We're going to play the Some But Not All game.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57We'll pour a little bit in at a time.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02So pour a little bit in...and stop!
0:08:02 > 0:08:07Then give that a mix until the mixture becomes sticky.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Pour a bit more in.
0:08:11 > 0:08:18- I put all of mine in. Now mix it. - You can join in the mixing at home.
0:08:18 > 0:08:24You get your bowl and your spoon and you mix, mix, mix.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25That's it!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28It's gone all mushy and purple.
0:08:28 > 0:08:34- Oh, look at that exploding blackberry!- Look at mine.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Yours is entirely purple!
0:08:37 > 0:08:41the whole bowl is purple! Lucy, it matches your top.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46We're going to use our hands to squash it into a ball.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Can you pretend to squash like this?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Squash!
0:08:50 > 0:08:55We're going to take out the dough and make it into a ball shape.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Then move your bowl to the side.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03I need to add a bit more, but I think it's all finished.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07When you've made it into a ball,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09put it on the mat and sprinkle some flour
0:09:09 > 0:09:13because we don't want our dough to stick to the mat.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Ready? We're going to make it snow in the I Can Cook kitchen! Ready?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Go!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Look at that!
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Then use your hand to flatten it down.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Squash!
0:09:27 > 0:09:33When your dough is flat, like this, we can cut out some shapes.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38- Has everyone got a shape-cutter? - Yeah.- We've got lots of shapes.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42I'm going to make a heart first. Then give it a wiggle.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Then put it on your tray.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Shall we swap our cutters so we can make different shapes?
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Zainab, can we swap? Can I have the duck and you have the heart?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Thank you.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02Then you can squeeze your dough together again in a ball
0:10:02 > 0:10:06then flatten it again and make more shapes. I've got a duck.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Quack, quack, quack!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Fantastic! I'll put that on my tray.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15That's it. You've done it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20You put the ingredients together for your blackberry bites by yourself!
0:10:20 > 0:10:25It's time to put our blackberry bites in the oven, but remember -
0:10:25 > 0:10:30ovens are hot, don't go near. Ask a grown-up to help you here. Come on.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Who's going first? Zainab. Ahh!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40While we wait for our blackberry bites to cook,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43there's one thing left to do. What is it?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44ALL: Wash up!
0:10:44 > 0:10:48We've got to wash everything up. Off we go, everyone!
0:10:51 > 0:10:52# Now we've cooked
0:10:52 > 0:10:54# Let's wash up
0:10:54 > 0:10:57# Stack the plates and the bowls on top
0:10:57 > 0:10:58# Dishes and spoons
0:10:58 > 0:11:00# Splish, splash, splosh
0:11:00 > 0:11:03# Having fun while we tidy and wash
0:11:03 > 0:11:04# Dishes and spoons
0:11:04 > 0:11:06# Splish, splash, splosh
0:11:06 > 0:11:09# Having fun while we tidy and wash. #
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Can you remember some of the things we've done? We've...
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Weighed.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Tickled.- Flattened.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Cut.- And...- Stirred.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22We've been busy!
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I've turned the oven off
0:11:26 > 0:11:29and I'm about to take our blackberry bites out.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Our food is nearly ready to eat so let's lay the table and take a seat!
0:11:43 > 0:11:47While I let the food cool, so it's safe to eat,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50let's play a guessing game.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53What can you see? Keep on looking.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Say when you know what we used in our cooking.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59They have a hole in the middle,
0:11:59 > 0:12:03you can get them in different shapes,
0:12:03 > 0:12:07and you can use them to cut pastry or dough.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Do you know what they are?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14That's right - they're cutters which we used to make the shapes
0:12:14 > 0:12:17for our blackberry bites. Did you guess? Well done!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21And here they are, ready to eat.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25You've cooked your very own blackberry bites.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Shall we see what we've cooked?
0:12:27 > 0:12:28- Yeah.- OK.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32One, two, three.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Look at those! They look delicious!
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Wow, look at those!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43One, two, three.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- Ooh!- They're floury.- They are!
0:12:47 > 0:12:52We've done the cooking, now let's do some eating!
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- What do they taste like?- Yummy.
0:12:55 > 0:13:01- And there's some red. - Oh, my goodness! Look at Lucy's!
0:13:01 > 0:13:04They blackberries completely exploded.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Who would you cook these for? - My mum.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- What part do you think your mum would like the best?- Heart.
0:13:11 > 0:13:18Is that because you love your mummy? Aww. My duck's head's come off!
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Quack!
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- So, what can you do? - ALL: I can cook!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26And remember that you can cook too!
0:13:26 > 0:13:31If you'd like to try today's recipe, you can find it on our website:
0:13:35 > 0:13:40What other fruit would you put in our blackberry bites?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Banana.- That's such a good one! - Strawberry.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Watermelon!- What about peaches? - Yeah!- Watermelon?!
0:13:47 > 0:13:48KATY LAUGHS
0:13:48 > 0:13:50You've done SO well today.
