Whilst we are stuck indoors it is a good time to practice our cooking and baking skills. In nursery we have carried out lots of cooking activities, pancakes, clootie dumplings and biscuit decorating. Making a sweet treat to cheer ourselves up needn’t be difficult. You can start off easy by making simple rice krispie cakes which can involve just 2 ingredients: rice krispies and melted chocolate. Add mini marshmallows or even raisins to make them fancy. Our you can try a mug cake, so easy that my daughter has made one nearly every night for her pudding!!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon of plain flour
- 4 tablespoon of sugar
- 3 tablespoon of milk
- 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 tablespoon of cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
All these ingredients are added into a microwaveable mug and mixed well together. After mixing you pop in the microwave for 2 minutes. Boom you have a delicious chocolate mug cake. Enjoy.😊
Cooking together encourages language, communication, turn taking. As we follow the recipe we are developing our numeracy skills and building on our vocabulary. The best bit is we are having fun. Hope to see some pictures of your mug cakes or any other cooking activities you all do together as a family.
