First we looked at all the ingredients that had to go in the bowl.
We put the butter into the bowl first.
Next we put in sugar which we measured out into a cup.
We all had a turn mixing it together.
When it was soft and creamy we broke an egg into it and mixed it some more.
After that we added 3 cups of flour and 2 teaspoons of ginger.
Next Mrs. Kishimoto and Mrs. R.P. rolled the mixture out on a board.
When it was the right thickness we all had a turn pushing the gingerbread cutter into the dough.
We made a lot of cute gingerbread men. We had a few extras in case they didn't all cook perfectly.
Mrs. Blair took them to the ovens in the staffroom and the technology room to cook.
They smelled delicious when she brought them back and we wanted to eat them then.
But we knew that it was better to wait until tomorrow when we can decorate them with currants, jellybeans and Pebbles. We can't wait!!!!
We had so much fun, didn't we?
