the hormones but I don’tknow how my mom is right now firstthings first you want to make sure tohave a bowl this is the bowl that we’regonna put our dry ingredients in andthen we’re going to put it in anotherBowl so you want to separate the dryingredients from the wet ingredients orflour you want to make sure to do 3 cups3 and 3/4 cups of flour 2 3 and now 3/43/4 go my mesh I mash now you want totake 1 tablespoon actually 1 teaspoon ofbaking powder baking powder next we’regonna add in the salt 1/2 teaspoon onceyou have the dry ingredients in the bowlyou are going to mix it very well andwe’re going to sift it into another Bowl50 allows for your cakes and cookies tocome out more fluffy more Airy if thatmakes any sense at allit is a tedious process there is a toolthat works better but we don’t getthrough this baking takes patience thisright here you can obviously tell thatthis has been sifted over here it seemsvery clumpy so that’s the differencebetween the two it is important to siftyour dry ingredients Wynn baking[Music]all right want to put your dryingredients off to the side and nowwe’re going to start on our wetingredients add in your butter softenedbutter 1 and 1/2

more flour whoa wait nookay oh wow maybe I should take maybe Ishould use more dough I’m gonna takehalf now okay third time third time’s acharmokay you know what maybe I should use mywooden roller I

like I all right time to trythis again gingerbread oh okaywiggle wiggle wiggleokay okay all rightI did hear that it was better to makesure that the dough was thick when cutcutting them you don’t want them to betoo thin so I am taking that advice andhopefully it works out by the way I didcall my dad a call my dad and it waslike yeah we should definitely makeChristmas cookies like we used to do
