GTS Matariki Festival 2023

Task Description: I think this festival have been pretty successful. We both have been doing our equal shares on each stall, which are good. I’m glad we both knew what to do in each situation. Though we should’ve promoted more like the others so we’d have more customers. Still, I think my group, (Moe and I,) were great!

Blonde Brownies, Matariki Festival

Task Description: For Matariki Festival, Team Tui has planned something very special and my group are making, Blondies. Blondies are very delicious and is very recommended for others.

———————————————————————————————————————–

Step One: Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line an 8×8 square baking pan with parchment paper.

In a microwave safe mixing bowl, melt the butter. Add both sugars to the bowl and whisk for a few minutes until the texture resembles a paste and pulls away from the side of the bowl.

Step Two: Add in the egg and vanilla extract and continue whisking.

Step Three: Add in the flour and salt and gently mix until the dry ingredients are just incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix, as this will affect the texture of the blondies! Carefully fold in the chocolate and pour the batter into the baking pan.

Step Four: Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick in the middle comes out almost clean. There shouldn’t be any wet batter on it, but there may be a few wet crumbs. This means they are ready! Let the blondies cool completely before slicing.
