Diwali Ladoo

We made these at cubs in 2019, they don't need baking so they're perfect for a scout hut.  Coconut Ladoo 250g desiccated coconut powder 300g condensed milk (232 ml) 1/3 teaspoon cardamom powder 3 tablespoons desiccated coconut for coating (17g) In a heavy-bottomed pan on a stove, saute the coconut for 1 minute.  On a medium-low flame with non-stop stirring, saute the mixture until it starts to leave the pan.   Turn off flame and add cardamom, mix very well.   Let the mixture become warm or cool down at room temperature.  With a spoon, scoop out the ladoo mixture and shape into round ladoos.  On a plate, roll the ladoos in the desiccated coconut   Chocolate Ladoo 24 rich tea biscuits  25g Unsweetened chocolate powder   150g condensed milk (116 ml) 75g condensed milk (63ml)  for coating   Sprinkles Break biscuits into small pieces and grind to a powder  Add powder to a mixing bowl with chocolate powder and condensed mil...

28/01/2021 - Native animals and mug cakes

Cubs This week for cubs we are looking at animals that are Native to the UK. We are using resources from Chester Zoo , they have over 200 different things that they've made and they've been running live animal talks on Fridays that are all recorded.  We've had a sudden influx of new cubs from Beavers, so have had to split the pack into two. The good thing about being in 2 halves is that the first group gets more enthusiasm, but by the second group I've learned from mistakes from the first group. Explorers This week for explorers we are making mug cakes. We made them back in May/June time, but a lot of the explorers didn't join in then. I sent them a link to the BBC chocolate mug cakes recipe, but gave them freedom to find their own recipe if they want to. If they enjoy doing baking, we may do more of it while we are still in lockdown. We don't get to bake usually as we don't trust the oven in the scout hut.
