SLC26-W5 | Alfajores

Another way of taking part in the learning challenge contest, I have not done this dough before and I enjoy this learning challenge because the teachers involved make sure they bring in something that must users have not done it before and on no account are they repeating courses, so this make this learning to be unique and interesting for users to take part.

So for me this week I went to the market after studying the teacher course I was motivated to give it a try even though it's my first time I never know how it will turn out but I really know that I'm gonna do this.

So to begin we already learnt that while making dough for baking we would always allow the dry ingredients to go in together that is mixed them together and the wet ingredient is also mixed together and then everything is combined to make it dough.

When you tried the alfajores, what was your experience like? Did you like them? Explain your answer in detail.

Actually, it was my first time trying out alfajores, I never did it before and I was really amazed by the outcome.

I was really nervous how it's going to turn out, if it's going to have a whitish surface or will if it going to turn out to be brownish. I was so nervous and so I was very very careful of following the step by step guide and even setting the degree of my oven to a point that was being taught so as to be the same as seen.

Let's talk about the taste, It was really nice everyone in the house enjoyed it. I like the fact that the cinnamon really give it that unique flavour.

What has been your favorite hands-on challenge?

Churros

I really enjoyed how crunchy this was, the preparation was unique and it is something that is not common over here something anyone could even think of. So this makes it an exceptional snacks that one could think of in a party or at home so I have even added it to my meal plan so I'll be preparing it for my daughter and the dad because the love it so much.

Thank you for going through my post, I will like @marito74 @blessedlife @terelife to take part in this contest.
