Simple for my dementia patients to make and they taste good. I have added this recipe to my recipe book and will continue to use it with my baking group . Another no fail recipe is lemonade scones. 3 cups SR flour, 1 cup of cream and 1 cup of lemonade. mix altogether with a knife and knead on a floured bench top. Cut out scones using a glass. You can paint milk on the top of the scones but I don't bother( they go brown regardless). Bake at 210C for 10-15 mins. ( depending on the size of the scones). You cannot "kill' this recipe. I have had patients knead and stretch the dough (until they were satisfied), added extra flour, added yeast ( she insisted). We have used lite cream, diabetic lemonade, sometimes sifted the flour but usually don't bother and it always works and I always get compliments.
I love Golden Carers! When I first became an ‘Activity Aide’ I spent hours scouring the internet looking for meaningful activities for elders experiencing cognitive decline. I finally found ‘Golden Carers’! I’ve passed along ’the find’ to the Activity Director of where I work. Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is much more than a great resource for activities - it’s an education on how to provide ‘life’ to both workers and our elders.
