CULTURE MONTH

Todo mês de agosto temos o Culture Month onde trabalhamos a cultura e hábitos de alguns países. Este ano os países escolhidos foram Inglaterra, Estados Unidos da América, Austrália e África do Sul.

Em todas as aulas tivemos informações sobre estes países, mas em especial nas aulas de Keyword e Vocabulary nossos alunos puderam aprender e provar iguarias típicas de cada país.

 Devido ao grande número de pedidos estamos disponibilizando as receitas desenvolvidas nas aulas.

Inglaterra

Scones:

In a bowl, mix 350g of wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Add 85g of butter and mix gently with your fingers. After this, add 3 tablespoons of icing sugar, 175ml of warm milk ,1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a lemon juice. Mix gently again with the hands.

After the dough is ready, add 1/2 cup of raisins. Make balls with the dough, place them on a tray with baking paper. Brush the tops with egg wash and bake them for about 15 minutes, until they get golden brown on the top.

Eat them with jam and whip cream!

 Cook the macaroni in a large saucepan of boiling water.

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and add 3 tablespoons of wheat flour. Stir it for a few minutes.
