Now, the summer break is a lovely long vacation, and while it is wonderful having the children at home, you might run out of things to keep them busy and end up feeling frustrated. When frustration kicks in, I always resort to baking with my children. Whether it be a store bought pre-mix or something a little more adventurous, which actually involves measuring, sifting and following detailed instructions, we tackle it. My daughter is five and there is nothing that brightens her mood as much as when I suggest baking!
I have found that the more she is allowed to do, the better, so I have a few recipes that she can take ownership of and perform most of the steps.
I must admit that I have a sweet tooth and my view is the only reason why I have dinner is so that I can have dessert. Now, I wish that I could indulge every evening, but that would not be the right decision, so when we have guests or are invited to friends’ homes, I like to offer to whip up something yummy for dessert to take along. My favourite treat is Lemon Crunch! It is a delicious, lemony fridge tart, which is quick to make and is always a winner (plus it is easy enough for my daughter to help make). Below you can see my daughter preparing the biscuits for the base:
