Baking Workshop 6/5, Monday Morning

[absolutesnark]

Piper pointed out today's samples as the students arrived. "We're gonna try some foreign cuisine today. You'll be making crepes, which are French. When you finish making them, feel free to add any filling you want to."

She glanced at the various choices sitting on the counter. "We've got strawberries, bananas, chocolate sauce, various jams, etc. You can even add more than one if you feel like it."

"I'll be around, as usual, if you have questions," Piper added, handing each student a list of instructions.


Equipment Needed

Mixing Bowl

Measuring Cups

Measuring Spoons

Frying Pan

Spatula


Ingredients

1 cup flour

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

2 eggs

2 tbsp melted butter

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla


Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs.

Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine.

Add the sugar, vanilla and butter; beat until smooth.

Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium high heat.

Pour the batter into the pan, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe.

Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown.

Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side.

Add whatever filling you want and then roll them up.

Anders signed in, took a sample crepe, and more or less immediately decided he was going to blow this week's assignment so, so badly.

Bake

Make crepes and chat amongst yourselves.

The look on Sam's face? Yeah, that's pretty close to terror. She began hunting for a fire extinguisher.

Just in case.

Re: Bake

"Hey, Carter. I think we're doomed now," said Anders, who probably had an identical expression on his face.

And the fire extinguisher she'd given him for Christmas hanging from a loop of string on his belt.

Re: Bake

"I'm cooking near you today, Anders," Sam decided, setting out her ingredients. "And yeah, I'm gonna go with doomed. Has anyone called the clinic and checked if they're prepared to handle burns?"

Not that she was procrastinating or anything.

Re: Bake

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Sounds good to me," agreed Anders. "Maybe we should be, like, off to the side or something so people don't get caught in the crossfire or whatever. And yeah, I think the clinic's pretty well equipped for burns. Didn't somebody get half blown up the other week or something? I mean, if they can handle that, they're good to go for anything. Except maybe -- oh frak, pieces of flying exploded frying pan? Maybe we should check."

He wasn't procrastinating either. And he wasn't staring at the frying pan in abject terror. Nope.

Willow stared at the ingredients in front of her.

Yep, that was a look of panic on her face.

Re: Bake

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders waved in Willow's direction. Only he was waving with a fire extinguisher in hand, so it might have been slightly less than comforting, especially given the manic expression he was sporting himself.

"I totally know the feeling," he said.

Re: Bake

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow waved back, though she still looked nervous. "If we set the kitchen on fire nobody would notice the crepes didn't get made, right?"

Re: Bake

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders actually gave this some serious thought. Sign of desperation? Perhaps. Then again, it's Anders; he takes everything too seriously, sometimes. "Think we can all make it out on time? 'cause I know there was that whole thing about the snickerdoodles, but I kind of really don't want the cooking and baking to be, you know, students."

Re: Bake

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

"Um." Maia said staring at the ingredients list. "You actually trust us with open flames..." Maia glanced around, noting the fire exits and the extinguisher over with Anders, she started to separate out her ingredients. "This is not going to be good."

Re: Bake

[absolutesnark]

Piper noticed Maia's uneasy expression. "Maia, if you need help with the frying pan, please tell me. I don't want you to burn yourself."

Maybe an assignment involving open flames really wasn't a good idea...

Talk to Piper

[absolutesnark]

She's here if you need her.

Re: Talk to Piper

After sending an email to Angel, Veronica poked her head in to Piper's workshop to see if she could score some breakfast.

"Hey, how's it going?" she asked quietly, not wanting to interrupt.

Re: Talk to Piper

[absolutesnark]

"Good. Except some of the students seem terrified," Piper said, clearly amused. "Here to score some free crepes?"

Re: Talk to Piper

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Only if you made them," Veronica replied, noticing the terrified looks on Sam & Anders' faces.

Present

[absolutesnark]

Feel free to present finished products.

OOC

[absolutesnark]

Just in case. And I really felt like using the Fury icon.
