Happy lil ❤’s are baking #5

Did you bake with your little ones this week? Or let them bake on their own?

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 made bread rolls! 
 
I’ve been wanting to try bread for ages, so when I read Bending Birches’ recipe for Grandma bread I knew it was time 🙂 (I admit I’d been a bit nervous about trying a proper bread…)
For the recipe head over to Bending Birches (it’s a beautiful blog so I’m sure you will enjoy your visit).
Master D enjoyed measuring and pouring the ingredients…
Mixing them up…
And after it was all mixed and kneaded we set it aside for the yeast to work it’s magic! The next day we played with the dough, getting it ready to bake…
I even gave some to Little Miss Q. She sat there looking at it as if to say ‘and what am I suppose to do with this?!‘  
After they played with the dough I prepared rolls and popped them in to bake. We enjoyed them warm from the oven with butter and honey ~ delicious!
Master D is enjoying baking so much, that every time I go in the kitchen he asks ‘what are we making?’ ❤ He has even started helping make dinner each night – I’m so thrilled he loves helping like this!
We can’t wait to see what you are baking!

Happy lil ❤’s are baking!

When I was little I used to bake with my Mum and Nana. I’d stand on a chair so I could stir the bowl. And I loved getting to lick the spoon! Sound familiar to anyone?

Now baking with my little ones is part of our weekly rhythm.

I’d love for us all to share what we bake with our little ones (and not so little ones) and hopefully inspire each other! Family favourites, new recipes, traditional or cultural recipes – you name it, we’d like to read about it and if you include the details, try them out 🙂 Below is a linky list to join in the fun and start sharing.

So to kick us off, one of my favourite biscuits to make was (and still are) Yo Yos.
You need:
1 cup self raising flour
1/2 cup custard powder
1/3 cup icing sugar
2/3 cup (170 g) butter
Mix all the ingredients together until you have a stiff dough.
Roll the dough into balls and then slightly flatten them with a fork
(I always loved getting to squish them and Master D does now!).
Bake at 170° for 15-20 minutes.
They taste great joined together with jam or butter icing.
This time however we just used a simple icing and sprinkles.
Don’t kids love sprinkles they’re like *edible glitter*!

These biscuits make me think of the treats the Magic Faraway Tree kids would have eaten.

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