Every week while I take my son to piano lessons, my oldest stays at home and creates a special snack. The two younger ones truly look forward to this snack. Not all of her special snacks have been edible, but all have been a learning experience for her.
This week during the lesson I received a call from my daughter asking if she could use some “kitchen equipment.” A little nervous, I asked what exactly she wanted to use. The answer: the mini muffin pan. I breathed a sigh of relief and asked what she was making. Jam Tarts. My daughter has never used the oven by herself before, so I started to get nervous again. But, she was ahead of me. She planned to have the tarts ready to bake when I got home to help her pre-heat the oven and bake them. No problem.
These Jam Tarts were the best special snack she has ever
created. So, I asked her to write down the recipe. After reviewing the recipe
below, I realized that she needed a lesson on standard units of measure!
Jam Tarts
A hunk of butter
7 cereal spoons of flour
2 sugar spoons of sugar
Jam
Mix butter and flour to bread crumb texture, then mix in
sugar. Then mash in the pan. Then cook for 10 minutes. Then put in the jam of
any kind and cook it for five more minutes. Yield: 9 mini tarts.
Do your kids like to create in the kitchen?
