SUMMER 2020 COOKINGS

6TH AUGUST 2020

TASTY & CRISPY CHURROS..

recipe

For the coating whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish, set aside.

Heat about 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil in a large pot or deep saute pan over medium-high heat to 360 degrees. Prepare the dough while oil is heating.

Add water, butter, sugar and salt to a large saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Add flour, reduce heat to medium-low and cook and stir constantly with a rubber spatula until mixture comes together and is smooth (a few lumps in it are fine)

Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl, let cool 5 minutes.

Add vanilla and egg to flour mixture then blend immediately with an electric mixer.

Blend until mixture comes together and is smooth (it will separate at first but keep mixing it will come together).

Transfer to a 16-inch piping bag fitted with a rounded star tip (no bigger than 1/2-inch).

Carefully pipe mixture into preheated oil, into about 6-inch lengths, cut end with clean scissors.

Let fry about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Transfer to paper towels to dry briefly, about 15 seconds (don’t wait too long or they’ll be dry and the sugar won’t stick as well).

Then transfer to cinnamon sugar mixture and roll to coat.

Repeat process with remaining dough (frying no more than 5 at once, separate with metal tongs if they stick a little).

Let cool for a few minutes then serve warm.

Study hacks

Study hacks for students

Hack#1: walk before an exam

It’s been proven that exercise can boost your memory and brain power.

Hack#2: teach what you have learnt

The best way to test if you really understand something is to try to teach it to someone else.

Hack#3:draw diagrams.

Drawing diagrams will help you to visualise information which would be hard to describe.

Hack#4: use apps to block distracting sites.

The Self Control app helps you to avoid distractions by blocking websites for a certain amount of time.

Hack#5: watch a documentary on the topic.

Documentaries are an entertaining way of compacting an entire story into a short timeframe. This will help you remember key details from a story plus you may even get extra credit for mentioning that you took the initiative and watched a film about the topic!

Hack#6: take regular study breaks.

When your brain is working, you need to take regular study breaks to help your brain absorb more information but also to keep you motivated and focused when you are working. Take a short break after 45-50 minutes study as your focus and concentration will become impaired after this period, anything new after 1 hour 30 minutes does not get assimilated.
