Cooking Session 7: Feel the Rub

This Licence to Cook practical session extends the rubbing in technique so that students learn to form and shape the rubbed-in dough. This additional dimension is a progression from Cooking Session 6, Creative Crumbles, as students will need to carefully control the amount of liquid added to the mixture to prevent it from becoming too dry or sticky, and shape the dough in a uniform manner.

During this session, students can make either cheesy scones, rocking rock cakes, tomato and basil tart or scone based pizza, and will practice weighing, measuring, cutting and grating. Writing frames are provided for students to record their own top tips and the skills they use.

The extension material provides detailed teachers notes, including shopping lists, equipment lists and student worksheets to consider how the recipes could be modified.
