Happy lil ❤’s are baking #6

What did you and your little ones bake this week? Or did you cook something together?

Below is a linky list to share what you baked 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 made cinnamon muffins, inspired by Adventure Academy Mom‘s Donut Muffins 🙂
  
We used:
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 tbsp brown sugar
2/3 tbsp cinnamon
1 1/3 cup self raising flour

Master D measured and poured the ingredients (sometimes more then needed!).

We put all the ingredients in our whizz bang mixer and got it going!
(We have tomatoes ‘decorating’ our kitchen until they are ready to be turned into sauce)

Master D then spooned the mix into the muffin tray (and now I have the song about the muffin man stuck in my head!)

Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180°C (around 355° F)

 Husband of Mine loves donuts, but isn’t a fan of how oily they can be, so we were hoping he might be a fan of these muffins 😉
And the verdict is in – ‘yum‘ he said (he is a man of few words).

And for anyone interested, these muffins are 3 Weight Watchers’ points each 🙂

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

Beeswax candles

There is no end to wonderful inspiration in blogland is there! Recently I was reading My Rhythm and Rhyme in Motherhood and Nicole had just made some gorgeous beeswax candles. I had some beeswax over from another project so decided to try it out 🙂

Given that Valentines is approaching I decided to go with heart shaped candles. Although Master D had other ideas and produced a couple of his dinosaur biscuit cutters. While I was melting the wax in the microwave the dinosaurs became quite agitated and came to blows (or something like that)!

We set out our biscuit cutters on a tray with baking paper underneath and wicks at the ready.

The first couple went really well, but after that I had wax going everywhere! And a week later I still seem to be finding wax about the place and trying to melt it away! Husband of Mine has suggested I do things somewhat differently next time… mmm, he might be right – I didn’t really need to grate the wax just to have it all happen quicker… perhaps I shouldn’t have used the usual glass measuring cup – although I have got the wax off now (promise)!

Waxy *roar*

I’m still pretty pleased with our results – and the smell is delicious!

Warmly, Kelly
