Welcome back to Kids in The Kitchen, my weekly linky where you can come and tell everyone what you’ve been cooking with your kids. My aim is to teach my children all about cooking, I want them to enjoy it and learn at the same time as filling their hungry tums.
This week we’ve been in the kitchen twice! Once to cook pancakes and then again to make some fork biscuits.
Last week we had a lovely post from The Beesley Buzz where the family went to cookery school. I was really jealous, it sounds fantastic, I’d love to do something like this with my littlies.
Please come an join in this week, I’ll tweet about your post and give you a mention next week if you do. The rules are simple, get the kids in the kitchen and then write a post and link it up. Or you could even link up an old post, I don’t mind.
Pancakes.
Boo decided that she would like to make pancakes so I printed off a recipe for her. Two points to make here, pancakes are not only for Shrove Tuesday, we have them whenever they take our fancy. Also, I don’t need a recipe for pancakes, they are so simple. However, this is a learning process, and Boo is just learning to read so I wanted her to read the recipe for herself.
So, in short, we mixed up the flour, milk and eggs. Then mummy heated a little oil in a pan until it was very hot. We poured in the batter, swirled it around and cooked one side. Then mummy expertly tossed the pancake over to cook the other side. I did get Boo to try and take a photo of me doing this, but we didn’t get one worth showing.
Now it’s your turn. Join my linky and show everyone what your kids have been cooking this week.
I love the fork biscuits – I always squish them down with fingers, but I think the children will like it with a fork more – and it certainly gives a very professional finish 🙂
pressing them with the fork was the kids favourite part of making these, we've made loads of biscuits before, but it was the first time for fork biscuits 🙂
What a lovely idea. I will have to get cooking now. we have pancakes every Sunday morning! x
we love pancakes, we all our own favourite fillings, but sometimes just a little sugar is enough 🙂
What a great idea, we're always baking in the kitchen, just didn't get a photo of Monkey helping with our Honey and Spice muffins. Will have to remember this linky for future reference. Those biscuits look great
Yes please do remember, it's a good way of sharing recipes that kids can make too. Your honey and spice muffins sound lovely 🙂
When your post pinged through to my phone earlier today I spotted the mention of pancakes and it inspired us to have some today! (i had to make them though as the kids didn't help – they just enjoyed smothering them with choc spread and eating them). Thanks so much for mentioning us in your post – i got very excited to see us named in there! I've got one to link up so will do that in a mo. Those fork biscuits look so simple yet so tasty – must try those soon. xxx
pancakes are hard to resist aren't they? 🙂
Thanks for joining in again x
