This Design and technology scheme of work video shows the children how to prepare biscuit dough using key food preparation skills. It shows the processes of sifting flour carefully using a sieve, mixing and combining ingredients and rubbing in butter by hand to create a breadcrumb-like texture. It also shows techniques such as measuring oil with measuring spoons, weighing sugar using scales and cutting out biscuit shapes using cutters or a knife.

The video illustrates each preparation step clearly so the children feel confident and well prepared to make their biscuits independently in the lesson and unit below.
