As the Grumble Explodes … A Combined Effort to Remember

WALT follow instructions to bake ANZAC biscuits with a difference. By following instructions, we will be able to describe our experience. Read along to embrace how we felt.

Interestingly enough, we made our biscuits in plastic bags! Have you ever made biscuits in plastic bags before?

Our feelings were mixed with thrills, enthusiasm and flour. We chittered and chattered as we tossed the dry ingredients into our crinkling zip-lock baking vessels, otherwise known as our zip-lock bags. In went our oats, followed by the desiccated coconut and our sugar. The hum of the microwave echoed in the background as our excitement oozed around our tables. What was this? What had we got in our bags? The pinging sound rang out as our olfactory senses told us our blend of yumminess was ready for us to explore.

Like a waterfall swooshing downward, the combination of butter and golden syrup flowed into our dry ingredients. Clickety, clackety went the zip lock on the baking vessel. Squelch went the ingredients as the mixing of the dough began. The sticky mixture oozed with buttery syrup as the ingredients intertwined, forming one smooth dough. The chatter of anticipation overflowed throughout the kitchen as we prepared our dough for the next procedure.

Then we cautiously separated the dough with slick precision as we jumped with excitement. Not long after, we shaped the portions of dough and gently slid the biscuit shape onto the metal tray like soft snow in winter. Then we flicked the oven on as it roared with force. The heat engulfed our dough, slowly cooking it to absolute perfection. We then waited for what felt like an eternity. Our backs hunched against our chairs as we groaned with boredom. After the longest 10 minutes of our lives, the sweet caramelised aroma filled the air.

As we pulled the tray from the blazing oven, the biscuits were the only thing on our minds. We stepped closer to see the biscuits; the hot sensation gathered around our faces like a warm mini hug. We greedily gathered our creations, eager to consume them immediately. We then wrapped the sweet treat in a makeshift vessel made of tin foil. Once we were seated, we immediately engulfed the sweet biscuits we had made ourselves.

Proud smiles spread across our faces as we devoured the warm biscuits we had created ourselves, silencing our grumbling volcanoes into their dormant slumber.
