Wawanosh 4-H begins work with `Batter Up' club
It's almost time
The Wawanosh 4-H Club began its next endeavour with the "Batter Up" Club that will teach
baking and plenty of other food -related life skills. The club is seen here in Auburn with their
baked goods seconds before it's time to eat. (Photo submitted)
The Wawanosh 4-H Club got
together for their first meeting for
their "Batter Up" club on Friday,
July 8 at 7 p.m. at the Auburn Hall.
As members were arriving they were
given the task of matching a baked
good name to its description plus
complete a judging activity on
proper footwear for the kitchen.
Mary Ellen Foran opened the
meeting with the 4-H pledge and
then had the members read out their
baked good match. Everyone but one
leader had found the correct
description for their baked goods.
Mary Ellen then passed out different
baking pans and utensils. Members
were to identify the item and what it
was used for.
Next, Eileen George did a
measuring demonstration for the
members so that they knew how to
-• Farm Lanes`-
• Campgrounds
• Driveways
• Horse Riding Arenas
correctly measure out fats and wet
and dry ingredients. Cathy Drennan
educated the members on what
different ingredients such as fats,
flour and leaveners do in a recipe.
The club then divided into their
baking groups for three different
brownie recipes. Members recited
the Baker's Beliefs that included —
always read the recipe before you
start. One group made brownies
from a boxed mix, another from
scratch using the oven and the last
group made microwave brownies,
from scratch.
While the brownies were baking,
the club did the election of officers.
Jolande Oudshoorn was elected
president with Abby Robinson as her
vice-president. Gayl Mcllhargey
volunteered to be cover designer and
Maisy Jefferson has the job of press
reporter. Grace Hallahan was chosen
to be the attendance recorder for the
meetings. All remaining members
who did not have an executive
position, were given a meeting to
write up the secretary minutes.
The club again divided into their
baking groups and began making
muffins. Once the Ontario berry
muffins, peanut butter and jam
muffins and basic bran muffins were
in the oven, the members went
outside to the playground for a game
of Grounders. They deserved a break
from all of their hard work. The
leaders were to watch the oven timer
for muffins.
After 20 minutes of play, the
members were called back in and
read through the healthy baking tips
found in their book. The club
discussed the different healthier
substitutes suggested in the book and
ones they had used when baking at
home. Substituting some whole
wheat flour for white flour and using
applesauce, fruit and vegetables is
also a way to add fibre to your
baking. At this time the muffins had
cooled off enough to be enjoyed by
the club. Jolande closed the meeting
with the motto and the members
helped themselves to their brownies
and muffins. The overall preference
out of the brownie recipes were the
brownies made from the purchased
brownie mix and for the muffins, the
peanut butter and jam muffins.
The next meeting will be held on
July 21 at the Auburn Hall at 2 p.m.
Members will be making and baking
cakes.
