I received a complimentary copy of this beautifully illustrated cookbook, Baking Kids Love for review. The bright colors alone make you want to page through it, the layout is adorable and fun, and the easy recipes are perfect for kids.
Product description from Amazon:
Ready, set, bake! Baking is fun, a great way to connect with kids, and the results are delicious. Whether you’re slathering fluffy, white frosting over a decadent chocolate cake, or forming soft ropes of dough into creative shapes, time spent together in the kitchen creates memories that last a lifetime. Both young and old love a warm surprise when it comes out of the oven. Baking Kids Love brings the magic of baking alive through thirty delicious recipes, designed for 8 to 12-year-olds, that are totally a blast to make–and eat!
Baking instructor Cindy Mushet and her daughter Bella team up with cookware authority Sur La Table to carefully guide kids through the experience of creating awesome masterpieces in the kitchen. Step-by-step instructions for key steps (along with Bella’s personal comments about the recipes), inventive variations, and colorful photography complete the book. Popovers magically rising into puffy, golden pillows, and gooey, warm cheese melting over the sides of a crispy pizza crust–these are just a few of the surprises waiting to be enjoyed in this book. So roll up your sleeves, get a little flour on your hands, and warm your stomach with a treat while sharing a smile. Baking Kids Love is baking that both kids and adults will love.
Enjoy this cool recipe fresh from the cookbook pages and read on to find out how to sign up to win your very own copy.
POPOVER BALLOONS
Makes 12
Popover Balloons
Ingredients:
1¼ cups milk
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (see page 10)
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
Tools:
Measuring cups and spoons
12-cup standard muffin pan
Blender
Oven mitts
Cooling rack
Small offset spatula
1. Before you begin
• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 425°F. Generously butter the muffin pan, or coat with pan spray.
2. Make the batter
• Put the milk, eggs, and butter in the blender. Put the lid on securely and blend on high speed for 1 minute. Turn off the blender, uncover, and add the flour and salt. Re-cover and blend on high speed for another minute.
3. Fill the cups and bake the popovers
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. It should come about ²⁄³ of the way up the sides of each cup.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until deep golden brown and crispy. Using the oven mitts, transfer the pan to the cooling rack and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Use the small offset spatula to run around the edges of each popover, to loosen them from the pan. Then pop each one out with the spatula and serve hot.
