**The Art of Making Wagon Wheels**
Creating the perfect Wagon Wheel is an art form that requires precision and patience. As our host begins, "all of this cast of sugar obviously already weighed out but if you can mix that that would be great we're going to cream it together until it's fully combined and then we're going to add two types of flour one is self-raising one is plain so it's a very small amount of um raising agent in this particular biscuit we want them quite soft and crunchy but not too risen there we go and then slowly stir in our flowers as well."
The first step in making Wagon Wheels is to combine the ingredients, including sugar, butter, and flour. The host explains that they are using self-raising and plain flour, which will give the biscuits a unique texture. By adding a small amount of raising agent, they can achieve the perfect balance between softness and crunchiness. As they mix the ingredients together, they stir in the flowers slowly to ensure an even distribution.
**Assembling the Wagon Wheels**
Once the dough is fully combined, our host carefully shapes it into rounds, about the size of a large egg. They place these biscuits onto a tray and explain that they need to be equal in size so that they can be used to sandwich together. With their fingers, they gently pat each biscuit into a round shape, making sure they are as flat as possible.
**Baking the Biscuits**
The biscuits are then baked in an oven at 180°C for 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Our host checks on them frequently to ensure that they don't overcook. As they come out of the oven, they let them cool down on a wire rack. This is an important step, as it allows the biscuits to set and become easier to work with.
**Adding the Marshmallow**
While the biscuits are cooling, our host prepares the marshmallows by snipping them into small pieces. They then place these pieces onto the top of two of the cooled biscuits, creating a layer that will eventually be covered in chocolate. As they work, they explain that it's essential to use the sticky side of the marshmallow, as this will help it adhere to the biscuit.
**Melting the Chocolate**
Our host then melts some chocolate and uses it to cover the top of the Wagon Wheel biscuits. They carefully place these biscuits back into the oven for another minute to melt the chocolate and create a smooth, even coating. As they work, they explain that the heat from the biscuits will help to soften the marshmallow, making it easier to attach.
**Adding the Final Touches**
As the chocolate is still warm, our host carefully places two of the Wagon Wheels into the microwave for about 10 seconds to melt down any excess heat. This ensures that the marshmallows are soft and sticky enough to adhere to the biscuit. With a spatula, they spread a layer of melted chocolate over the top of each Wagon Wheel, creating a smooth, even coat.
**The Finished Product**
Once the chocolate has cooled and set, our host reveals their finished Wagon Wheels. These homemade treats are remarkably similar to store-bought versions, with the same crunchy biscuit, gooey marshmallow, and rich chocolate coating. Our host explains that using a tray to make the biscuits allows for easy cleanup and minimizes waste.
**Tips and Variations**
Our host notes that one advantage of making Wagon Wheels on a tray is that any dropped biscuits can be easily cleaned up and reused. This makes the process much more efficient. They also mention that some people like to add a layer of jam to their Wagon Wheels, which can be done by microwaving it for a short time before assembling the treat.
As we look at our finished Wagon Wheels, we are reminded that with practice and patience, anyone can create these delicious treats at home. By following our host's steps and tips, we can achieve the perfect balance of softness and crunchiness, as well as the ultimate gooey marshmallow center.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: endo you remember wagon wheels from when you were a kid well today we're bringing them back for a touch of nostalgia we're going to make our version of Wagon Wheels by making very simple biscuit with two flowers butter sugar and egg stuffing it with some melted marshmallow and then covering it in chocolate once you finished chewing Jay mhm can you cream some butter this is nice soft room temperature butter along with one egg a dash of vanilla extract I think it should make you eat more often cuz you can't talk you can't answer back and all of this cast of sugar obviously already weighed out but if you can mix that that would be great we're going to cream it together until it's fully combined and then we're going to add two types of flour one is self raising one is plain so it's a very small amount of um raising agent in this particular biscuit we want them quite soft and crunchy but not too risen there we go and then slowly stir in our flowers as well one and two I don't think you're supposed to eat back wheels in one guy no but you know what it gave me some peace and quiet so that's fine keep keep staring I'll just have to make up for it for the rest of the video the question is how good was it well it was very good but I'm sure it's not as good as the one that we're going to make good answer so is this a biscuit base yes this is our biscuit base it's kind of almost short ready okay there quite a lot of butter in there what we're going to do now is Place s of tablespoon worth onto the tray important thing is they are have got to be equal cuz we're going to use them to the same to sandwich together and then just with your fingers kind of Pat it out to something that's as round as possible nice and flat you could use Compass um and then they can go into an oven so that's 180° C for 10 minutes until they're nice and golden so there we go four of our biscuits all we need to do is ease them off two of them to cool down on our wire rack yep and then with the marshmallows all we're going to do is take them and snip them onto the top like so you can coat both of those I'll cut them you layer them you want to do it while they're still quite hot I'm putting the sticky side down is that right that's fine they'll both be sticky sides by the end because we're going to melt them these ones go back into the oven for another minute to melt down in the meantime we can melt something else down our chocolate so if you can crack the chocolate into the bowl so our Wagon Wheel marshmallow in the middle and chocolate over the top yep or are we making the Jammy ones I really like the jam ones we're not making the Jammy ones you could do a layer of jam when it comes out of the oven now if you can pop that into the microwave to melt down about a minute or so and already we can take these out of here and that should be enough heat on those marshmallows to put our Lids back on top you see how soft and squidy they are yeah they will stick on nicely and then the whole thing can come off to cool down and they'll then stick together they'll stick together if you can grab that chocolate Jay I can perfect and you'll see now the heat from those biscuits yeah the marshmallow keeps melting they keep melting really sticky at this point just kind of get get rid of any excess thank you but what we can do is cover the top so take our melted chocolate y pour that over this is like a chocolate covered s'more isn't it I guess so marshmallow sort of grain crackers chocolate the same kind of ingredients now the advantage of doing this on a tray is it means any that dropped through we can clean up later and use again and that's all we need to do cover both of those and then it dribble down the side and by the end you have something that looks like this once it's set up here's what we did earlier all set up just the bottom left and now you can turn it over and set the bottom oh I see what you mean now so you need to completely enroe if you haven't got an enrobing machine that's enrobes both sides you need to do it in two stages this is the bottom stage so if you can spread that out and then you let that set SE in R he actually means cover our Wagon Wheel so there they are some made that already set up covered both sides with the biscuit and the marshmallow homemade wagon wheels aome Moors sorted might as well do the same again then not easy to eat I think you want to wrap around it can I now oh these are bigger aren't they excuse me can I I get invol now you can have one if you want I'll tell you what I'll cut this one in half share it I've been busy reading our new book beginners get sorted fantastic read you know good look at that for AEL marshmallow in the middle and if you think you're going Sticky Fingers use a bit of Grease paper make your own little wrapper crunchy chewy and chocolatey I think it's a bit rude to talk the m jdo you remember wagon wheels from when you were a kid well today
