One of my favorite things to do with my daughter is to bake together! I enjoy doing this for a few reasons. First, it’s fun. Second, it’s pretty inexpensive and doesn’t involve video games! Lastly, I worry cooking/baking could become a lost art with so many convenient options in the market for us to grab and throw in our microwaves. I want Claudia to have fond memories of standing in the kitchen and creating something out of different ingredients, then devouring it with absolute satisfaction knowing full well what is IN the item she is eating.
However, at times it can be hard to find a recipe that we can make together. She is a bit of a control freak for a four-year old, who insists on pouring, and stirring, and cracking each egg; creating the batter and sometimes, a major mess. That is why, when I came across this recipe I couldn’t wait to make it with her… It is the simplest, yet tastiest fall treat and definitely worth the calories!
See the below pictures of our eventful Friday evening, Julie & Julia moment…

The batter, see her fairy wand next to the mixing bowl!
Then she put on my apron, "The hot air from the oven won't get me then"

De-lic-ious!
