Creative Pizzas!

It is hard to believe that the 8th graders are ready to complete their trimester in Consumer Education. They only have two weeks left before they move on to their next Encore class.
Our lab this week involved making the designer pizza recipes that each class created. The students were very pleased with their creations. I must admit that the pizza recipes turned out very well. Nice job!

Have a nice weekend.

Fast and Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

Fast and Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

1 cup flour (unsifted)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups buttermilk
1 egg
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Yield: 12 - 4” pancakes

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, use a whisk to blend together buttermilk, milk, eggs and vegetable oil.
3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, using a wooden spoon or whisk to blend. Stir until it's just blended together. Batter will be slightly lumpy.

Hand sewing a button

1. Cut thread 30 to 40 inches long. Hold spool of thread at your nose and pull thread out to the length of your arm.
2. Thread the needle:
Hold the cut thread about 3/4 inch from the end with the fingers of the other hand, and push the thread through the eye of the needle until about 1/2 inch extends beyond the eye.
3. Double the thread so that the two cut edges are even.
4. Wrap, roll and pull thread into a knot.
5. From the wrong side of the fabric, insert the needle and come through to the right side of the fabric. Go up through one hole of the button and down through the other.
6. Slip a toothpick between the thread and the button to form a shank
7. Take 4 to 5 stitches through each set of holes.
8. Remove the toothpick and come up under the button with the needle.
9. Wrap the thread around the base of the button 3 times to secure the shank (spacer) you have created.
10. Bring the needle to the underside of the fabric. Take a small stitch and bring the needle through the loop to secure a knot.
