I seaved the flour into the batter mixture and form a dough, rolled it up in a nylon bag to achieve a smoother texture then I let it rest in the fridge for an hour.

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

I love them so mush, the taste was heavenly it wasn't so soft also not so hard it was just perfect for each bite it has a bit of crunch feeling, I ate each bite with so nush joy as my first trial turned out so great, to be honest although I wanted a good result i was also not expecting it to turn out so great.

3 - What has been your favorite hands-on challenge?

For the past 4 weeks I happily participated even when some practical seem impossible for me because were i reside some ingredients are so hard to find and also a nursing mum who has other business to handle in one way or the other I always find a way not to miss out this wonderful opportunity, this class will help me make different dough at home which is cost effective, measure accurate quantity of ingredients.

In all the 5 weeks of learning all the dough I made was unique in their own taste I love them differently but because I hade to choose I will say I loved churros the most,
