*New to Outschool? Take $20 off your first class with code MsShannonJ20 In this class, students will make recipes based on some foods mentioned in the Harry Potter book series and some foods that look like objects from the book series. Treacle Tart, Sorting Hat Cupcakes, Knickerbocker Glories, and Rock Cakes are just a few examples of the things that students will make throughout this course. This course contains five lessons. Each lesson contains two separate recipes and videos. If you opt to pay for this class on a week-by-week basis, you will see one lesson per week. Two separate documents with ingredients, necessary kitchen materials, and written step by step instructions will be posted, along with videos of myself making the recipes, demonstrating techniques, and narrating my actions as I go. Students have the flexibility to make one or both recipes at any point throughout the week. Students enrolled in this course as self-paced are welcome to send me pictures of their finished products! This Harry Potter baking class is for older students, and it will involve using an oven, knives, and ingredients that require proper handling and hygiene (eg. uncooked eggs). If your learner is young or needs a lot of assistance in the kitchen, this course may be a bit of a time commitment for parents.
Learning Goals
Students will have fun making Harry Potter inspired recipes!
Syllabus
5 Lessons
over 5 WeeksLesson 1:
Week 1 Recipes: Knickerbocker Glories and Wand Breadsticks
In this lesson, students will tackle the creation of Knickerbocker Glories and Wand Breadsticks. These recipes have a lot of flexibility! Knickerbocker Glories can include any flavor of fruit and Jell-O. Students get to shape their Wand Breadsticks however they like. They can use pictures from online as inspiration or create their own design.
Lesson 2:
Week 2 Recipes: Hogwarts House Meringues and Rock Cakes
In this lesson, students will make Hogwarts House Meringues and Rock Cakes. The House Meringues are a little tricky because they involve whipping egg whites. This can take a little bit of time, but it is a great technique for any baker to learn and practice! The Rock Cakes are a simple, tasty snack that can include raisins if students choose.
Lesson 3:
Week 3 Recipes: Treacle Tart and Custard Creams
In this lesson, students will bake a Treacle Tart and Custard Creams. Treacle Tart is Harry Potter's favorite dessert, so it will be fun for learners to decide if they like it too! The Treacle Tart involves making and rolling a crust, which is another excellent skill for bakers to learn and practice. The Custard Creams can be colored yellow to be the Canary Creams that Fred and George make.
Lesson 4:
Week 4 Recipes: Pumpkin Pasties and Lemon Drops
In this lesson, students will make Pumpkin Pasties and Lemon Drops. Pumpkin Pasties are like little pumpkin pies with some extra crust. They are pretty tasty! Lemon Drops are the first snack to be mentioned in the entire Harry Potter book series. They are a little tricky because the recipe involves boiling candy to a certain temperature, but they are definitely worth a try.
