Benefits

In an attempt to keep the kids happy and quiet I’ve found we spend at least an hour a day in the kitchen. If its not baking its another form of messy play or splashing about with the sink.

At best baking with kids is a stimulating and diverting screen free activity which encourages sensory development and aids knowledge of cause and effect, increases curiosity and is an all round brilliant way to enhance cognitive skills.

At worst its a really messy way to enjoy something yummy- so its win win

Croissants you're after? 🥐🥐🥐 Then don't eat these 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ They may not look awful but trust me they are! I think our bread dough wasn't strong enough so when we were folding in the butter it all got a bit incorporated into the dough. Rather than lovely flaky layers we got dense buttery bread rolls. The husband is eating them but I've also seen him eat sweede on a pizza 🤷‍♀️ Back to the French drawing board 😂 #fridayfails

Toffee Apple Tarts 🍎🍏🍎🥧🥧🥧 Easy baking activity for little hands and perfect if your not a jam tart fan! Little pastry cases filled with apple and caramel sauce 😍 Rub 150g butter into 300g plain flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in 50g caster sugar and an egg and bring together into a dough. Roll out to 2-3mm thickness and cut rounds using a circle cutter. Pop into a greased 12 cup bun tin and each with some grated apple. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before removing from the tin. Top with a spoonful of caramel sauce or dulce de leche for a delicious little treat 😃

Blackberry and Almond Eclairs 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷 If like me you've found a 5 minute walk to the park is now an hour long due to your kids stopping at every bramble to pick berries, I highly recommend these eclairs. I'm totally feeling the French vibes this week so thought a British twist on a French classic would be a nice change from the tarts and pies! Light choux pastry (recipe on the profiterole post in bio) filled with a thin layer of marzipan, lots of whipped cream sweetened with icing sugar and mashed blackberries, topped with a blackberry icing made by mixing 200g icing sugar with a few spoons water and more crushed blackberries. Finshed with a few toasted flaked almonds.

If an eclair making sweat shop isn't already a thing it might be now 👀

Salted Caramel Brownies 🍫🍫🍫🍫 I made a batch of salted caramel this weekend so it would have been rude not to swirl half the jar through these chocolate brownies! Recipe is on the blog via the link in our bio!

Now On The Blog. I've also made a Bailey's tart this week and I'm totally now thinking of an offshoot account called Baking With Booze 🍾🍹🍸🍺🍻🥂🍷 Yes there'd be a bit less kid involvement but think how little I'd care about the amount of flour on the kitchen floor 🤷‍♂️ Seriously though this is a taste sensation. More kid friendly recipes on the way this week. . . . . . . . #thefeedfeed #thebakefeed #pastry #tiramisu #tart #butterybiscuitbase
