We enjoyed making the cranberry orange scones. I had some kids that stated they "do not like cranberries", after they tasted the scone we made they had a change of heart ;).
During the making of this recipe, the kids were introduced to a microplane grater/zester. They were taught that when zesting any type of fruit, they should only zest the skin, they should avoid zesting the white part of the fruit. They were taught to tuck and curl their fingers to avoid zesting a nail or finger.
The kids were introduced to a pastry cutter as well as taught how to properly use it and hold it. The kids had the opportunity to use a citrus press. We juiced oranges with this handy kitchen gadget.
The kiddos learned the difference between a silpat and roulpat. The Roulpat was used to knead our sticky dough. We used the silpat to bake our scones. Using a silpat does not require you to grease a cookie sheet etc. it makes baking healthier by avoiding a few extra calories.
