 Hey, hey, hey, am I on am I sorry trying to get sorted Okay Hello, hello looks like everything's working. How is everyone? Come on here. It's Wednesday, and I'm running around like crazy today But I'm excited to be here and I'm ready to do something different than working working I mean, I guess this is technically working Um So I'm excited about what we're gonna make today. I've started because Because I had to be over there and I didn't want to be like, oh, so I'll just wait till some people get on And we'll get started Um, and I'm just gonna read through so today What are we gonna make today we are making Okay Something that's called. Oh, is that baking soda? Yeah Hokey pokey biscuits today. We are making hokey pokey biscuits because of the name So do you guys know do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around? Hey, that's what it's all about. Whoo Um, yeah a little hyper in my kitchen today. Let me find my I'm just getting sorted. I'm not I've been rushing Yep, I still haven't got a new one Okay, this is my life. I'm barely surviving most days, but so hokey pokey biscuits because So hokey pokey is and correct me if I'm wrong. Hello. Yes, beautiful day in Wellington. I was just in the city and It's so stunning here. So if you're new to my channel if you're new to the cooking with edmund's show It is the first ever collaborative cooking show ever So basically I go live I'm cooking something that I've never made before out of the famous edmund's cookbook of new zealand Like this is what they call like their cook their cooking bible Like these are all the famous recipes of new zealand and they are quite different than anything i've ever made and so I kind of look for you guys to tell me if i'm doing something wrong I have learned a lot doing it this way and have just improved My baking new zealand stuff. Hello from johnsonville so fast because You guys are telling me what i'm doing wrong what i'm doing right if I mixed it too much and it's been so great So the first ever collaborative cooking show i'm excited And I chose hokey pokey biscuits because I still giggle inside when I say the word hokey pokey So hokey pokey in new zealand and correct me if i'm wrong uh means Like um honeycomb like like a honeycomb like it probably took me five years of living here before I tried um hokey pokey Ice cream and then when I did I was like well, I've really missed out. I haven't made hokey pokey before Um, and so then when I saw hokey pokey biscuits, I was like, yes, that's what we're making plus I have the ingredients and so that was also why um, okay, so Let's just jump in here because we can chat once it's being cooked. So I have the oven at 180 celsius. Um, which would be like Yeah, it's about 350 360 fahrenheit um Uh, so basically I've cooked 125 grams of butter. I put the butter I did a half a cup of sugar a tablespoon of golden syrup which looks like this Now let's talk about golden syrup So those are all in a tablespoon of milk and I cook those until they're boiling and now I'm supposed to let them cool So this is why I did it this way. So I could just be over there. I could do that um and So yeah, and I'm almost out of this but I had enough for this so golden syrup now you can tell that I haven't cooked so that many new zealand recipes because um, I've never cooked with I've never baked with golden syrup And like all these recipes that I'm in I'm like golden syrup golden syrup. I'm like wow I'm not baking many new zealand recipes Um, at least out of here. So what you do is you bring this to a boil And then it says to so you have again It's the butter the sugar a little bit of milk and a tablespoon of the golden syrup which that's what I meant to say is like Let me read it It is a subtle caramel flavor and light consistency ideal for toppings and you use it, you know, like we put on pancakes or piclitz as you say here And it's good, but it has a very different taste. I personally don't love it myself That's probably why I don't bake it, but it's basically like sugar That's not as refined. So it's like I don't know. It's like brown sugar Syrup would that be correct? Correct me if I'm wrong. This is just what I'm remembering off the top of my head Would have been good to do research, but didn't that's why I have you So, um, okay Here we go. Um, so you mix it stirring consistently remove from heat allow the mixture to cool to a lukewarm That's what we're doing ladies and gentlemen why I talk to you Um And then sip the flour and baking so together and add to the cool mixture. Okay the cooled mixture Okay, then what we're going to do is roll it in tablespoon full balls Put on the tray and push down with the fork. Okay, cool. So I'll probably just use a spoon And here's my fork. Okay, cool Easy and then you just bake for 15 20 minutes and We're done. I have okay, but you have to listen This is also what made me want to make these Is these crisp biscuits is slightly On your tongue. Thanks to the baking soda and the golden syrup Ladies and gentlemen, I'm interested in the finish I am making my own paparazzi in cookie floor. Do you guys know what paparazzi are? Paparazzi should have my hair up when I'm cooking like Whoa, I just been running around. I literally got off a zoom call five minutes ago. So Um, we're living the dream people living the dream. So I think when I say that this is lukewarm. Yes, okay, cool All right, so I'm just going to use my handy dandy thing and I'm going to put this down so you can see what I'm doing Here we go Um, oh probably too far Here we go. So this is um Let me look uh one and a half cups of flour So I'm going to put that in there And then you just need a teaspoon of baking soda So this happens to be edmund. So be impressed be impressed Let's see one teaspoon of edmunds. There we go I just wanted to at least use one thing and it wasn't just because it was edmunds. I didn't realize that till now Okay, so I'm just going to do this So if they sift together as it goes in And then I should yeah probably having this kind of mixer will work Like this is so easy you guys like you could cook this like so fast like right before the kids come home I'm making a mess, but that's what you do right when you're baking I'm making a mess. Here we go So you can kind of see It's forming Oh, it's getting hard to mix. So I'm not gonna be able to hold it up. Okay So it kind of looks like a shoe pastry if we've ever mixed that up french, you know, like what you make Oh, it looks almost exactly like shoes. Is that what I just made? Okay, let me get this off of here And I'm going to get another It's this one And we'll just mix it. I just want to make sure yeah, it's well mixed. It looks good. So you can see what it looks like Um, so then it just says tablespoon full and put it down On to here. I'm just gonna rewash my hands again just because I've been touching some things Oh So how are you guys doing like what is going on? So I can can you see this? Yeah, you can see us move the golden syrup Um And so tablespoon down. Is that right? Yeah, you always want when you're baking cookies is to make it like somewhat thick because then when it bakes down it, um You know comes out nice and thick instead of like really flat cookies If you've melted your butter too much before you bake a cookie, you know before you mix up your cookies, then um It will be flat you do not want melted butter in cookies. Sorry biscuits. Sorry forgot where I was Can you guys see what I'm doing? Yeah Um, so I'm just going to add all this And And then I'm going to push the fork down in the middle of it I have never made these if you're new if you just got on here. Uh, yeah, there's some new people. Um, this is hokey pokey biscuits Such a funny day. I'm sorry I have got I can't believe some of the words that have now started coming out of my mouth that I've been here for a while Like I say lollies as if that's a normal word to say as an adult um So yeah, it looks like I'll have to make two trays of this but we'll just do one Actually, maybe I'll add a little bit more to that cookie. This is actually quite easy to work with. Hopefully I added everything It's very buttery cookies Okay, so then it says, you know to push down with a floured fork all floured Okay, well that's on top of the flour. So we're not going to go with that. Okay. Oh, it's working fine Working fine kind of reminds me of like this is what you do with peanut butter cookies in the u.s. If you're in the u.s Da da da And we're ready to bake. So I've preheated my oven at 180 um Because look at this. I'm getting so professional at this now that this is my fifth show Bump bump bump. That's what they look like. Let's see how they turn out Okay, so as you guys know if you've joined me on other shows, I um There we go like play-doh. Yes. Am I making this right? Have you guys made this before? um Like other shows, um, what was I saying? I don't even know what I was talking about. Oh Oh my gosh, are these are these turning out right? It feels a little bit different. Um I am going to take another tray out and Get the rest of the bread as I were talking So I'm happy to answer any questions if you have any questions if some of you are traveling here moving here I just want to know baking questions because you know, I know everything about baking. Um It's a stunning day here in wellington. I was in the city And for one day only they have in and out burger And I stood in the line I did I stood in the line hour and 40 some minutes And if you are in new zealand Pretty sure I'm going to be on tv3 tonight. So I was with another american and um Yeah, so she's from california and knew like what a in and out burger should taste like and so They were very interested in her take on it. So We are both on there if you want to check that out. Um Let's see. It wasn't my attention. I was meeting with her and then I just happened to mention it and didn't realize she was such a big fan And so that's what we did and ended up being really fun But of course then I'm behind with everything else I was doing today but um, but it's going well And Yeah, it seems like a very like summery type day today So, um, I'm very excited about this fizz. It says it's going to lightly fizz on my tongue because of the baking soda and the golden syrup together So, yeah, should be interesting. Why is my hair all flimsy? Oh, it's like humid. It's hot in here um So, yeah But uh, let me see what else is going on. Oh, yeah So I get so many people you guys seem to like the show so hence the reason I keep doing it Um, and I enjoy it. I definitely enjoy it, but um So thank you for watching the show. This is the fifth episode if you haven't watched the other ones The first week I made afghan biscuits. So you can check that out. Then I made cheese scones. I believe Then I made um yo-yos uh What the heck else did I make? Is this this is the fifth episode I made something else Why am I not remembering it? I don't remember Oh, and then last week I made it's because it's the most it's the recency effect, right? You can't remember the most recent thing I made sponge cake For my daughter's birthday that day. It was her birthday last wednesday and we made sponge cake, which I had never made and she ended up loving If you didn't see it, I posted pictures on my instagram. I actually I meant to put it On my community here. So I'll do that. Sorry.

Okay. Thank you. Thank you for being here and helping me Um, okay, so they are supposed to go flat looks like well mine aren't going too flat that I make them too puffy I might have made them too puffy the problem is is that they have pictures of things But they don't have it of everything and so I'm like do they have a picture of it? Because I'd like to see what it's supposed to look like Um, but man, there are a lot of recipes But they are quite simple because I've been looking for ones, you know That only take 10 15 minutes to bake because you know, that's all the time we have really I don't know what something that's going to take 45 minutes Okay, so we're five more minutes. Oh, they're looking really good They're looking really good. How fun those were so easy you guys like What felt like two seconds to make that because you just like put it in a pan melts it really quick Jump some flour and baking soda in there. Boom. You got cookies. You seem like Amazing But that's what's good about New Zealand is they don't put as much pressure on moms to be like this Pinterest mom That you feel in the states, but mostly it's probably because I just do it to myself Here let's put the start soaking Okay, so if anybody has any questions or anything that they would like me to make next week Let me know And because I'd be happy to because I literally picked this this like an hour ago Well, yeah, how do I decide? This is the true story ladies and gentlemen. This is a true story I Had all the kids in the car today. I had a run saw everybody in different places It was crazy and I was like I was about to pull out and I was like no I forgot the Edmunds book. So I ran and grabbed this Handed it to my daughter in the front seat and like pick something out So then it only takes 15 minutes to make and doesn't have crazy ingredients that I don't have Lemon delicious souffle. Are you crazy Andrew? Are you being serious? That seems really hard Christie could do these. Yes. This is actually a really good Christie. What she's not going to have golden syrup Do they have golden syrup in the u.s? um I'm going to look it up right now because I've never seen it but that doesn't mean it's not there I bet you they do Because you can kind of get everything Okay, you'd find it in larger supermarkets specialty groceries and online. So it's not everywhere is what they're saying um It's also called bite traco Or a liquid sweetener. My grandmother always cooked with a liquid sweetener. So that's very interesting maple syrup can do similar if you have that But yeah, so you'll have to look it up It's a thick golden colored syrup made from sugarcane that is commonly used in baking or as a sweetener Yes, oh you can make homemade golden syrup Okay, so there's a golden eagle syrup company in alabama Um that makes it so i'm sure you can order it from them. So you may have to order it special I'll let you know if this is any good And if you should order it But there's so many recipes if you get the edmunds cookbook There's so many recipes in here. I don't know They're different We're trying them. We're going to see how good they really are Ginger slice would be great. Yes. I need to make ginger slice because I've never made it And I would never eat it like that would like if you go to the bakery and you know, you have the big beautiful clear Cabinet that you can pick out the stunning things that they make every day I would never pick the ginger slice never But my son So my kids become very much kiwi before me Because I'm more set in my ways if you will and they or like they love the ginger and I was like ginger like ginger and baking It just seems Like ginger bread would be like the most popular in the u.s. But I hate it, you know So in my mind i'm like But i'm gonna make it date loaf is yeah date loaf like dates being like oh like dates Not like raisins Because what I think I think I think I think when people say date loaf to me I think I was thinking raisins, but dates are very good. So That could be a winner date loaf. Let's look that up um, and then the ginger slice because Let's see A b c d this is it okay We have date bliss balls date loaf 25.

Or is this just something people don't make I just did I wanted to fizz Am I getting a fizz? No, really Maybe my I've had the golden syrup for a while. So maybe it wasn't fresh enough. I would have bought it normally if I had time, but I did feel the earthquake yesterday. It wasn't too bad. It was like I think a four or something or five something um Wow That was good It's like this really nice buttery flavor Is there something I feel like I would add cinnamon Don't hate me for saying that Is there something that you could add into this to just have a little bit It is just really nice on its own that would be really good with a cup of tea, but Ain't nobody got time for that We're just gonna eat it Oh, let's see You guys are funny. Um So yeah, hey also I'll put the link in the description. I don't think it's in there because I just rushed everything but Join my community. I have a new online community For free doesn't cost anything Just I'm trying to connect everybody from all my social media just own one place so I can chat with you guys and Just kind of have deeper relationships. I just love my community. I love you guys I'm gals and Um, if you wanted to go there because I feel like it would be helpful people to meet each other to ask questions They are and do that so obviously if you're in my training hub you get an exclusive group of people Those people are actually moving here from America generally And that's that's a kind of a different group and what they're doing But this is kind of for everybody for all New Zealanders people from Australia People from around the world that watch all my different channels because I kind of do different things on different channels But a lot of the same um to kind of come together and we just share information and we just have A common link that you just watch my stuff And I'd like to get to know people better because it's getting hard to be like Responding to everything on all the different channels. So I put stuff out Let's bring everything into everybody in the community and then It's cool because it's just download kajabi on your phone and you could just be talking on there from your phone It's great. You just log in from there. So join it. It's free. Link is in the description Um, do I have what video? Oh, you're not going to want to miss the youtube video coming out on sunday I'm already done with it. Look at me. I'm still on top of it Um, I went to a really cool place It's a vlog. So if you like those watch it if you don't I don't care um Let's see what else. Yeah, join the training hub if you are coming here if you've already moved here And you're struggling a bit even if you've been here for a year Is a good place to be because it's what these are other places people that are moving here or are here um Lots of great videos one-on-ones with me or live q&a's with me. So How many americans have moved here since you've been doing your channel? That you've helped that's a good question. I should probably look that up I can look at like how many consults I've had It is a little bit different because I've used different platforms and so like I haven't done a like a cumulative number But you know, I don't do a ton like this business that I have the consulting and the training This isn't a big business You know, it doesn't bring in enough money um I just enjoy doing it and it's helpful and I love meeting people and connect. It's like in every way. It's me and so Yeah, so that's why I do it. I'm hoping to grow it because that would be nice um, because you know, none of these social medias make me anything significant. So um And so yeah, so I would say maybe a hundred consults a year But that was also before like during coven and stuff. So it's definitely picked up quite a bit I have quite a few a week. Um, so I think that's just you know, immigration is opening up immigration is also apparently changing their rules Midway through the year. So that could make it easier for people or harder depending on who's the government, right? And um And then you know, and then they'll probably But I'm just here to help. I don't know everything I'm not like I can't give like actual immigration advice, but I love this year my experience help connect people I have lots of great resources on the training hub that you'll need and that you should use are actually really great Um, and then just like like I just met with someone today I had a consult and like he's just traveling here and just want to talk about like where to go to do and like You know, and it's just even the cultural training with that. Well, this is how you should handle this situation Expect this in this situation. So it was good Oh, thank you. Yes, I am a get up and go if nothing else That's me. I know I keep signing on for new things. I've been writing more blogs. I think Getting information out that way is really helpful. Um, and you know my dance class coming up in april So anyway, it was lovely to see you all and I will see you next week and Make these these are so great. Look at this So good
