Little Hands Recipes
Welcome to Little Hands!
We are pleased to introduce our newest section on ChallahCrumbs – Little Hands!
Little Hands is a collection of recipes that are user-friendly and bring you and your kids together in the kitchen. Cooking together is a great way to spend quality time with your kids. It also provides some great teachable moments – be it nutrition, math or confidence.
Cooking with your child should be a bonding experience. Recipes that are listed in this section are fairly easy to make, incorporate ingredients that most children love and take under an hour from start to finish. Kids need to see (and taste!) the fruits of their labor pretty quickly for them to truly enjoy the experience.
Here are a few of our tips for cooking with your kids:
1. Set out all the ingredients before you start cooking. Nothing is more frustrating than being short one egg in a recipe – especially if your 4 year old is standing there expectantly.
2. Never underestimate the power of the wooden spoon. The younger the kid, the more “mixing” he or she should be doing. Make sure your kid feels super involved.
3. Keep it clean. Emphasize washing your hands, pulling your hair back, and cleaning up after each cooking project.
4. Set limits. Having a helper in the kitchen makes cooking more complicated. Set our clear limits about who turns on the fire, who can put things in the oven, turn on the blender etc. Do not skimp on safety.
5. Enjoy!
No Bake Strawberry Cake
Homemade Blueberry Muffins
If you love blueberries, you know it's hard to resist a freshly baked blueberry muffin. By filling the muffin cup to the top, causing the muffin to overflow, and sprinkling a streusel topping, your friends and family will never guess that you baked these instead of buying them.
Ice Cream Cone Cake
In our house, we’ve got two summer rituals that bookend the summer: the first official ice cream of the summer (on my daughter’s birthday, May 26th) and the last official ice cream of the summer (on my husband’s birthday, August 30th). All ice creams in between are simply celebrating summer months. But recently I decided why limit all that goodness to the summer so, following my friend’s guidance, I made ice cream cone cake!
Hot Chocolate
Cinnamon Spiced Donuts
Yield: 1 dozen donuts.
I decided to invest in a donut-baking pan. Given the popularity of these donuts, I should have bought two, but letting the donuts cool in the pan before being able reuse it for the next batch is worth the wait. Best of all, I mixed the batter by hand with a wooden spoon – so this is the perfect recipe for your “little hands” to help with. Multiple generations sampled these donuts today – and everyone gave them two thumbs up!
