Happy lil ❤’s are baking # 9

What did you bake with your little ones this week? Or, if you don’t have anything new we’d love to see something from your archives 😉

Below is a linky list to join in the fun and start sharing what you bake with your children so we can inspire each other. Family favourites, new recipes, traditional or cultural recipes – you name it, we’d like to read about them and if you include the details, try them out 🙂


 This week we baked corn bread. I’ve been hankering to make corn bread for ages now, although I’m not sure why?? 

Before we got baking, we read a bread story from Baking Bread with Children by Warren Lee Cohen. I love this book and it actually has a very similar corn bread recipe to what we used 🙂 And many other great recipes besides!





For our corn bread we used:

1 cup polenta

3/4 cup self raising flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp honey
2 eggs
1 cup milk
3 tbsp butter
1 cup corn


Mix your dry ingredients together.

Lightly whisk the eggs then add to the flour, together with the milk, corn and honey.

Melt the butter in a frying pan. Add to the flour mix.

Pour your bread mix back into your frying pan and place it in the oven at 190°C for 20 minutes (around 375° F).


Give yourself a bubble beard as you wash the dishes 😉


Enjoy served warm with honey or butter, mmmm….

Not quite sure what Little Miss Q thought of the corn bread? Seems to be in a daze!

We can’t wait to see what you are baking!

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake was a favourite of mine when I was a kid. I think the name appealed to me (in a Magic Faraway kinda way) ~ and it is super yummy!

Master D seemed captivated by the name too, and wanted to get baking straight away 🙂
Here is the recipe from Cookery the Australian Way (my mum used this book in school).

Firstly you prepare the pan with the pineapple slices, butter and brown sugar.

Cream butter and sugar, before adding the egg. Next comes the flour and pineapple juice.

Pour mix over pineapples and bake for about 30 minutes at 180°C (around 350°F).
Wash up while it bakes…

 And then enjoy your cake with some creamy ice cream!

We can’t wait to see what you are baking!
