Our first week of cooking went very well. I'm enjoying getting to know the kids.
Lesson 1-
The kids were taught how to make Homemade Fresh Lemon Curd the easy way. The recipe is "foolproof" because we combine everything before cooking it. The kids learned what would happen if you add eggs to a hot lemon curd; if you don't follow the proper technique, you will scramble your eggs! I explained the importance of using Saran Wrap on top of your lemon curd (once it starts to cool); the wrap will keep the curd from forming a "curd skin" on top.
The kids were introduced to a citrus press, a fine mesh strainer and a crepe pan. They were taught how to slowly pour the crepe batter onto the pan while using their wrist and turning the pan clockwise until the batter has formed a perfect round circle. I taught the kids that crepes actually cook very fast and once the edges start to pull away, the crepe is ready to flip. The kids were taught how to fill their crepes and fold them. Every student helped make the lemon curd and they all made their own crepe. 😃
