Hello, everybody.

Thanks for joining me today.

We're going to be making apple flapjack bites.

Don't they sound delicious? Let's get started.

So, what are we going to learn today? Well, by the end of the lesson, you're gonna be able to make those delicious apple flapjack bites, but also describe where the ingredients come from in the UK.

You're gonna describe the origins of the ingredients.

So let's have a look at some keywords that we're going to be using today.

The first keyword is flapjack, and that's what we're going to make, and it's a traditional baked recipe made with oats.

The second keyword is harvest, and this is the time or process of gathering crops when they're ready.

And the third keyword is oats.

Do you remember? We're going to be using those in the flapjack that we're going to make today.

And oats are a grain.

They're a part of a plant, and we use them in cooking.

So let's get started, shall we? So the first part of the lesson is called Flapjack Origins.

Let's go.

Now, the origin of a flapjack goes back many, many years, and some people think back to the 16th century.

But then, flapjacks were really known as a sort of tart, not like we know nowadays.

So flapjacks now are known as a baked bar made with oats, so quite different from what they used to be.

And look what Sam's saying here.

"In the USA, pancakes are called flapjacks." Wow.

Now, flapjacks are traditionally made from different ingredients, and these are oats, butter, sugar, and golden syrup.

Mm, that sounds amazing, doesn't it? And golden syrup is made from sugar, and it is sweet and runny.

Can you see the photo on the screen? It really does look golden, doesn't it? And we're also going to be adding apple and sultanas to our flapjack, too.

Let's see whether you've been listening, shall we? So it's a true or false.

So flapjacks are traditionally made from flour, sugar, butter, and eggs.

Is that true or false? Yes, that's false, isn't it? And why? Well, flapjacks are made from oats, butter, sugar and golden syrup.

Well done, well done for getting that one correct.

You're doing really well.

So let's look at one of the ingredients, the main ingredient, oats.

And you can see them on the screen here.

Can you see the grains? So oats are from the UK, and they're mostly grown in Scotland.

And oats are usually harvest in the late summertime.

Oats are a plant.

They're a plant.

It grows.

So a combine, or sometimes called a combine harvester, is used to harvest the oats.

This removes the oats from the plant.

The oats are then made ready for us to eat.

And oats can be used for lots of different things.

So for example, porridge, different types of cereals, flapjacks, biscuits, and oatcakes.

So there's lots of uses for oats that come from the UK.

What's this? Can you tell me what you can see? What's growing on that tree? Yes, that's right, they're apples.

And apples are also grown in the UK, and there are some areas which are very popular.

So for example, areas of Kent, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and Essex, and they have large apple orchards.

And there are many different types of apples of different sizes, colours, and flavours.

And apples are usually harvested in early August, and they're stored for us to eat all year through.

And we can buy apples in different ways.

So we might buy them fresh, canned, dried, or juiced.

So let's check whether you've been listening, shall we? So what equipment is used to harvest oats? Is it A, B, or C? Yes, that's right, isn't it? It's C, it's a combine harvester that's used to harvest the oats.

Well done if you got that one correct.

You did brilliantly.

Now, there are lots of different types of flapjack recipes, and they all use different sorts of ingredients and they could include different types of fruit.

So it could be a fresh fruit, like plums, for example, or perhaps a dried fruit, like dried apricots.

They could also contain nuts or seeds.

And these nuts here are called hazelnuts.

And they could also include different types of spices.

And this spice here is called cinnamon.

So flapjacks can include lots of different types of ingredients.

Flapjacks also contain sugar, which is a sweet food.

And if we have sweet foods, we should have them occasionally and just in small amounts.

Now, what's Izzy saying here? Shall we read it together? So she's saying, "The flapjack recipe has apple and sultanas, "so it's part of my 5 A DAY." Hmm, is she correct? Is that true or false, do you think? Hmm.

Let's find out, shall we? Well, Lucas here is saying, "No, there's not enough fruit.

"Also, it is a sweet food, "so we can only have a little of it, sometimes." So we only have sweet foods occasionally and in small amounts.

We've got a task here for you now.

You've done brilliantly so far, so I'm sure you're gonna do really well.

So Andeep and Sofia want some ideas about what they could include in their flapjacks.

So the first question is, "What other fruit could I use?" Ooh, there's quite a few, isn't there? And the second question is, "What nuts, seeds, or spices could I use?" Have a think.

Write down your answers.

Pause the video.

Good luck, and we'll come back together very soon to look at some examples.

Right, let's see how you got on, shall we? We'll do some examples together.

So, "What other fruit could I use?" Well, you could use fresh pear, a fresh plum, or perhaps some dried apricots.

There are so many different types of fresh and dried fruits that you could use.

What about, "What nuts, seeds, or spices could I use?" What did you put? Well, you could put, for example, walnuts or sunflower seeds and cinnamon.

They're all good answers, and I bet you've got some great answers, too.

Well done to you, congratulations.

We're gonna move on to the second part of the lesson now, which is all about making your apple flapjack bites.

So to make them, we're gonna use different food skills, and one of them is about measuring.

And we're gonna be measuring in different ways.

So we're gonna be measuring using weighing scales.

Have you used these before? I'm sure you have.

We're also going to be using measuring spoons.

And we're going to weigh, on the weighing scales, the butter, the sugar, the oats, and the sultanas.

And with the measuring spoons, we're going to be measuring the apple juice.

So we're going to be measuring.

Let's see whether you were listening here.

What should Izzy use to measure her ingredients? So she's got to measure apple juice, oats, and sultanas.

So, should she use the weighing scales or the measuring spoons? Good luck.

Let's have a quick look together, shall we? So the apple juice, she's going to, that's right, she's going to use the measuring spoons.

And for the oats? Yes, she's going to use the weighing scales.

And lastly, what about the sultanas? What should she use? Yes, that's right, she's going to use the weighing scales again to weigh the sultanas.

Well done, everybody.

We're also going to be grating in this recipe.

We're going to be grating an apple,.

And we need to be very careful when we use a grater because it's very sharp.

Let's have a look together at somebody grating.

So they're holding the grater carefully down on the chopping board, and they're running the food down the grater nice and slowly to make it into small pieces.

So it is essential to do it nice and slowly and safely.

We're also going to be mixing.

We're gonna be using a mixing bowl and also a stirring spoon.

And we're going to mix everything together with the spoon in the bowl.

And we need to make sure everything is really well mixed together.

I bet you'll be good at that.

So we're also going to be dividing, and this is where we're gonna take the whole mixture, all the oats and apple and sultanas, and we're going to divide it into six pieces, six equal size pieces.

But why do we do that? Why do you think? Well, we divide it equally so that it cooks evenly in the oven.

And we're going to flatten each piece down and put them on a baking tray ready to go in the oven.

And if you do it by hand and your hands are a bit sticky, just put a little bit of flour on them.

And lastly, we're going to be using the oven.

So here's a picture of the cooker, and I've just pointed out where the oven is.

And your teacher will put your flapjacks in the oven and bake them for you.

And it's really important that they use oven gloves to put food into and out of the oven.

The oven's really hot, so we need to be very, very careful.

Let's just check you've been listening, shall we? So, what do we have to wear when we're putting food in an oven? Is it A, B or C? Yes, that's right, it's A, isn't it? The photo is showing oven gloves.

We need to wear oven gloves when putting food into and out of the oven.

Well done, everybody.

Okay, so we're gonna start making now.

And I want you to follow the recipe to make your apple flapjack bites.

And before you cook, I want you to get ready to cook.

So that means tying up any long hair, removing your jumpers, washing your hands, and putting on a clean apron.

Also, I want to make sure you get your ingredients and your equipment ready, again, so you're all ready to cook.

And then as you prepare and cook, I want you to think about being safe and hygienic.

Do you remember the grater is sharp, so we need to be careful.

Also, you need to think about the food skills you're using.

So you need to measure correctly, you need to grate safely, you need to need to mix, and you need to divide the mixture evenly.

Wow, there's a lot to remember, isn't there? So let's have a look at the recipe.

So here's the ingredients and the equipment.

This is what you need to make your apple flapjack bites.

Pause the video and get everything ready.

And here's the method.

So I want you to follow the method carefully and make your apple flapjack bites.

Remember, your teacher will take away your apple flapjack bites and put them in the oven to cook them for you.

Okay, so get going, pause the video, and we'll come back very shortly to see how you've got on.

Good luck to you.

So, how did you get on? Did you enjoy it? I bet you did.

Let's have a review of the recipe, shall we? Let's see what you did to be successful.

So the first thing you did is to mix the butter and the sugar together.

Then you grated the apple, and then you added the apple and the oats and the sultanas and the juice to the butter and sugar mixture.

You then mixed everything together really, really well.

You then divided the mixture into six equal balls and you put them on a chopping board.

You then flattened each piece and you put those on your baking tray.

And then they were baked in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, and your teacher helped you do this for you.

Well, brilliant, well done.

You've made some fantastic apple flapjack bites.

I bet they smell wonderful and taste delicious.

Well, I really hope you've enjoyed making your apple flapjack bites.

Let's have a quick summary of what we've learned today, shall we? Well, we've learned that flapjacks date back to the 16th century.

Do you remember they originally were a type of tart? And oats are mostly grown in Scotland and harvested in late summer, and apples are ready for harvesting in early August.

And these are foods from the UK.

We also learned that flapjacks are a sweet food and we should only have these sometimes and in small amounts.

And we used our food skills to make our flapjacks, didn't we? So we measured, we grated, we mixed, divided, formed them into little bites, and then we put them in the oven.

We used the oven to bake them.

Wow, there's so much in this lesson, isn't there? About the origins of flapjacks, where the ingredients come from, and also how to make them, too.

I think you've done brilliantly today, and I'm really pleased with your progress, and I really hope you come back and do another cooking and nutrition lesson very soon.

Take care, bye.
