Family Christmas Bake-Along

Join us live with your kids on zoom and "bake-along" with Ruth this Christmas.

We will also discover more about what it means for God to be with us.

Baking instructions and ingredients can be found below.

We have a limited number of gift packs already made up containing some of the ingredients needed, some craft activities, and a special gift (pre-schooler age). If you would like one please choose the "Gift Pack" ticket below.

Ingredients

Baby Jesus :

• 38g plain flour
• 25g marg/butter
• 12g caster sugar

Straw:

• 50g cornflakes
• 100g white chocolate
• 30g golden syrup
• 25g mar/butter
• Optional : Icing sugar - for blanket (or some of the white chocolate)
• Currants/sweets for eyes.

Baking parchment (manger) and baking sheet.

Oven : 180oC / Gas mark 4

Method

• Turn the oven on to gas mark 4/180oC
• Put the flour and marg into a mixing bowl and mix until combined.
• Add the sugar and mix in.
• Divide the mixture into 6 or 8 balls.
• Take one ball at a time and divide roughly in half. Roll each one into a ball and then flatten slightly to make a head and body. At this stage you can make a small mark in the face for eyes or place cut up currants where the eyes would be.
• Stick together and place on a baking sheet.
• Once you have made all the baby Jesus cook in the oven for between 10-15 minutes until they have turned slightly brown.
• While baby Jesus is cooking in the oven place the chocolate (hold back 20g if you want to use it to make blankets), golden syrup and marg in a saucepan and gently heat until the mixture is melted and combined.
• Take the saucepan off the heat and mix in the cornflakes.
• Spoon the mixture onto 6 or 8 rectangles of baking parchment (this is the manger with the straw).
• Place a baby Jesus on each pile of straw.
• If you want to make a blanket either make up some white icing or melt some of the chocolate you held back and pour it over Jesus’ body.
