Making afghans

 Making afghans in cooking. 

Hello people today's post is about making afghans, for this we got choices on what we could make and me and my pair Jack choose afghans because it was the quickest one we could find and that we liked, so we choose that one. We had to make a list of the ingredients that we needed on a google doc.

Then the following week came and we got to make them, our cooking teacher Miss roads had the ingredients ready for us. We got to work, I did the wet ingredients and jack did the dry ingredients. So we completed both of them and combined them. When we added them we had to mix them together, once finished mixing them we had an afghan dough.

For more detailed instructions on what we actually did keep reading.

So first I creamed the butter with sugar which is mixing the butter and sugar together to make it smooth and creamy. Jack did the dry ingredient which was sifting the flour and cocoa into a bowl, then we added the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar and then mixed which made it all into a dough we then made it into a decent-sized ball then put it into the oven on bake 180 Celsius. 

Make sure you actually preheat the oven to the temp I mentioned up top, they took like 15 minutes. We took them out of the oven and let them cool down we had the chocolate icing made already which I did with a little help from one of the helpers. But unfortunately, the afghans did not cool down quick enough so the icing melted a little and they were still quite soft so they fell apart easily.

Well, that's all for today scroll down to see the recipe we followed.

The recipe here is a more updated one and we did not use vanilla essence.
