Recipes for kids
It’s hard to find snacks for kids that are healthy, inexpensive and easy to make. Often the best snacks are homemade as you know what’s in them and how nutritious they are. Baking is a good rainy day activity to do with kids that is fun and helps them to develop some practical life skills.
I thought a good first recipe would be pikelets:
1 cup (250g/8oz) self-raising flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 egg lightly beaten
¾ cup (180ml/6 fl oz) milk
1. Sift flour than add sugar, egg and milk. Mix with wooden spoon until smooth.
2. Heat a heavy bottomed frypan and drop in 3-4 teaspoons of the pikelet mixture.
3. When bubbles appear on top, the pikelets are cooked. Flip over and cook for a few more seconds.
4. Sultanas or chopped dried fruit can be added for variation.
5. The plain pikelets can be frozen.
