Today we will be real chefs!!! We have to put on our aprons and hats, wash our hands and get ready to follow the instructions to prepare two delicious desserts: one typically British (banoffee tart) and the other from Australia (Fairy bread).

Remember that a good chef doesn´t make a mess. He/she goes cleaning what he/she uses and tidies up everything at the end. It is extremely important to follow a good hygiene at all times, and that means: remove rings and bracelets before you start, wash your hands frequently, tie up your hair, clean the counter, don´t pile up the dirty dishes, clear up everything at the end. I am sure you know them all, don´t you?

Let´s go!

1.- First of all, watch this video to see what ingredients we need for a banoffee pie and the steps to follow:

 

What is fairy bread? It´s an Australian snack made from sliced bread, butter and sprinkles, more commonly known as 100s and 1000s (hundreds and thousands). There is a variation of this delicious snack: The unicorn toast, which is made of chocolate flavoured sprinkles instead. Most Australians grew up with this beloved sugary snack, which was reserved for birthday parties and special ocassions like Christmas Day or Australia Day.
