Eat Up, Gemma

Product Information

This week Reception children have been reading the book, ‘Eat up Gemma’, written by Sarah Hayes. This book is a lovely story in which the whole family encourages Gemma to eat. Children have learnt about Baby Gemma, who has been mischievous – refusing to eat, throwing her breakfast on the floor, squashing her grapes, feeding her dinner to the dog. But one day, in church, her brother has a clever idea for getting Gemma to eat up. In the end, his plan is successful and Gemma finishes her food. The “skin” helps create that hardened shell that’s iconic of the macaron. Also, without proper “skin” development, when baking, the heat will escape from the top rather than from the bottom which creates the other iconic feature of the macaron — the “feet”.

Lastly, the oven temperature set too high can prevent the insides to set, causing the meringue to collapse when the shells are taken out of the oven. 7. Uneven Feet Meet other like minded people who are ambitious and want to improve their habits and knowledge for performanceHand-Held Electric Mixer: Really useful for whipping up small amounts of egg whites and achieving the peak you want. I swear by my little hand mixer. Piping bag and Nozzle: For a more uniformed look to your macarons you will need to pipe them on the tray with a piping bag fitted with a nozzle. Don’t start making macarons without a piping bag to hand as this step is a MUST! Overmixing can result in flat macarons. After the dry ingredients and meringue are fully incorporated, macronage is the folding technique that ensures the proper batter consistency. Slowly fold the mixture using a thin metal spoon until it loosens a little and becomes smooth.

Although possible, it would be rather difficult to bake macarons in a humid environment. Humidity is macaron’s enemy. If the environment is humid, it can affect the resting stage, resulting in no “skin” and therefore no hardened shell of the macaron when baked. Humidity can even affect the moisture in the meringue so it might be hard to whip super-stiff egg whites. urn:oclc:25190314 Republisher_date 20131030032851 Republisher_operator [email protected] Scandate 20131029114918 Scanner scribe17.shenzhen.archive.org Scanningcenter shenzhen Worldcat (source edition) After that, you need to sift the dry ingredients into your meringue. This is when you add your food coloring, too. Previous knowledge of nutrition is not essential but useful. The broad themes of the seminar will be: 1. What is performance nutrition and why is it important Use powdered or concentrated gel food coloring when coloring macarons. You don’t want to add a watery dye to your batter as it can change the texture of your French Macarons.Weighing Scales: Precision is really important when making macarons so I recommend using a weighing scale (standard or digital) as it is more accurate than cup measurements. Sieve: It’s important to get your dry ingredients lump-free and aerated and a sieve will do that job Do take a look and enjoy the photographs of Reception Year added to this news write up. I’m sure you will feel as proud as we, ‘Reception year teachers’ do and know that all our Reception year children are working hard, facing challenges, aiming high and always striving for excellence in whatever they do! When properly done, the batter should be shiny and flow like lava off the spoon. To test the consistency, gently lift some batter over itself in a slow stream. Once the ribbon of batter disappears into itself after 15 to 30 seconds then you’re ready to pipe. Do not overmix because deflating all the air will result in sad macarons. It takes practice to get this technique right.
