They're grrrrrrrrrrrreat!

If your class or youth group decides to raise money to buy goats, you could all make goat-dropping biscuits to sell.

Before you start:
Make sure you get a grown-up to help you make your droppings! Never use an oven on your own.

You will need: (to make 12 droppings)
a baking tray
a bowl and spoon
a little piece of greaseproof paper or a brush to grease the tray
kitchen scales
a fork

Ingredients:
1½ cups of plain flour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
4 tablespoons caster (superfine) sugar
¾ cup butter (softened)
50g /1¾ oz of dark chocolate, chopped finely (make sure a grown-up helps you with the chopping)

What to do:
1 Lightly grease a baking tray using a little bit of butter.

2 Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them together well.

3 When the mixture has become doughy, knead it lightly with your fists.

4 Divide the dough into 12 balls. Space them out evenly on the baking tray. Then gently flatten the top of each one slightly with a fork.

5 Ask a grown-up to put the droppings in a preheated oven and bake them for 40 minutes until they are firm and golden. (Oven temperature: 160°C, 325°F, Gas Mark 3).

6 Enjoy! You could sell your droppings to raise money to buy goats for families like Josephat's.
