Baking

After coming home from school today, Abigail and Pascale agreed to the suggestion of doing ome cooking ie. baking cookies / cakes with Priscilla. We made one batch of anzac biscuits, then as we had had a late snack Priscilla asked if they wanted to do more cooking or have dinner (it was 5pm dinner time) while the biscuits were baking. The girls shouted "More cooking!" and typically couldn't agree on what to cook. Abigail chose the banana muffin option, Pascale chose the lemon poppy seed muffin option.

Stupidly/Bravely the mother let each child work on their own muffin mix, simultaneously. For a while there was butter chopping and flour measuring and milk measuring and mixing happening all at once. During a time when her mother had to do some mixing for her, instead of her usual comment "I'm bored" Abigail remarked that she was very interested in what was happening.

Pascale finished mixing her muffins and was asked to put the anzac biscuits onto the cooling rack. She asked to sample one and also distributed biscuits to the people still mixing (Abi and Priscilla). Then she quickly sampled another 2 - filled her tummy as it was nearing 6pm.

After the muffins came out of the oven with their puffy tops, Abigail commented that they were "adorable - what does that mean?"
