St.Davids Day

This week we are learning all about St. Davids Day. St David is the Patron Saint of Wales and we celebrate this day on the 1st March. We will be making one of Wales' national emblems, the daffodil and some tasty traditional welsh cakes!

For the daffodil craft you will need the following resources:

White card or paper x2

Green card or paper

Yellow paint

Orange paint

Glue

Scissors

Paintbrush

Egg box

Recipe for Anglesey shortbread.

Ingredients

175g butter

225g plain flour

100g caster sugar, plus extra for dredging

Method

1. Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar.

2. Using your fingertips, press the mixture together and kneed to a smooth paste. Roll out fairly thinly on a well floured bard and cut into 5cm circles. Optional- Mark each with a scallop shell pattern. 

3. Bake at 190ºC for about 10 minutes, until the biscuits turn a pale golden colour.

4. Cool on a baking tray, when cold, sprinkle with caster sugar.

5. Enjoy!
