The Great -ish British Baking Show Homeschool Style

This adventure started with this book

You can buy it on Amazon or from Veritas Press.

All really good adventures start with a book, don't they?

It started out simple enough, like most workbooks, with reading assignments and comprehension questions... stuff about England...

Two recipes + two boys + no time limit =
our homeschool version of the Great -ish British baking show.

And, the competition begins...

I did not know when we started this project that it would take two days, but we are flexible (one of the many blessings of homeschooling), so here we are on day 2.

Noah learned about separating eggs to get egg white and he learned about burning cookies. Sadly.
But, he figured out that if he took them out sooner than the recipe said, they would be just right. (I think the recipe time was fine, but our oven is wonky.)

When the time arrived, they both proudly presented their British baked goods right on time for afternoon tea.
From my perspective, this adventure was more fun to watch than anything on TV.
