Reflection from Friday

On Friday Taiaun and I made cheese scones. Overall I think everything went well. We worked together good, we shared the roles with each other, we both did the dishes and we communicated with each other to make sure that everything went well. But I think we could have improved by being more patient because we were in a rush to go to lunch. We were so impatient that our scones come out undercooked and doughy. If we had left them in for just a few more minutes they would have been cooked and more enjoyable. Form this lesson I learnt how to rub the butter in with the flour, salt and baking powder I also learnt that I need to be more patients when baking.
