Today the children wanted to make muffins for snack. They each washed their hands and put aprons on before starting as we spoke about the importance of hand hygiene especially before and after preparing food. We looked out all the ingredients and pre heated the oven.
Ingredients:
- 3 scoops of gluten free flour
- 1/2 scoop of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of Xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 100 ml Soya milk
“Can I add raisins?”
“me too”
The children measured all the ingredients out and carefully added them to their bowl, giving them a good mix using their gross motor skills.
“it’s so hard to mix now, it’s not soft”
Now they are ready for the oven. We discussed our rules about using the oven.
“It’s very hot, only adults allowed”
“You need oven gloves, so you don’t burn yourself”
When they were ready we let them cool down in the kitchen. Next we gathered chopping boards and knifes to cut up the muffins and we cut them up and shared them equally between 3 plates to have for our afternoon snack. They even had a wee sneaky taste test for all their hard work.
“hmmm yummy our friends are going to love these”
