Cinnamon Sugar Bread Crust Treats

When we made the TikTok toasted chocolate pancakes, I found that there was a lot of wastage of bread and I was really reluctant to throw it away. So, I did some research and came across recipetineats.com ‘s blog and saw her ‘Cinnamon Sugar Bread Crust Treats’ recipe. Such a great idea as it only takes 10 minutes to prepare and the outcome is super addictive to eat!

Now, I am just saving all my hard bread in the freezer so that I can use it to make this treat again. It is definitely a favorite recipe in our household! If you don’t have enough crusts, you can use leftover bread and cut it into stick pieces.

Ingredients: 6 cups of stale bread crusts or enough for 1 – 2 trays, 60g of melted butter, 3 x tbsp sugar, extra sugar to sprinkle on top once baked, and 1 tsp of cinnamon.

Method:

1. Preheat oven to GM4 and line your trays. Cut the bread/crusts into 3cm pieces.
2. Place them in a large bowl and drizzle in the butter and coat it evenly.
3. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon and toss through. Spread them onto the baking trays.
4. Bake for 5 – 8 minutes until golden brown and crunchy.
5. Whilst still hot, sprinkle over the remaining sugar and enjoy!

Giant White Chocolate Rainbow Jazzies

I was looking for inspiration of making some treats for the kids in my Kiddy Cook Class to celebrate the end of term. And, I came across this blog – Eats Amazing which has a huge selection of recipes that you can make with your kids and is very family orientated. I love her blog so I will definitely be trying out some more recipes.

I needed to make something that was quick and in a large batch as I had to make 36 of them! I didn’t fancy being in the kitchen all day! Lol! The giant white chocolate rainbow jazzies is a great recipe, so simple and cheap aswell!

Ingredients: 200g/300g White Chocolate and Sprinkles of your choice

Method:

1. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave at 30 seconds intervals and stir it until all is melted.
2. Spoon the melted chocolate into the silicone cups. I used a cupcake tin and inserted the silicone cup so that it holds its shape. In the original recipe, it uses 200g of white chocolate but I think it needed abit more as mine came out really thin so I would melt more chocolate next time.
3. Once you have filled all your silicone cups (12), tap the tray to get rid of the air bubbles. Then, generously add your sprinkle of choice. I used some heart ones because it was near Valentine’s. You can always theme your sprinkles on the occasion, ie Easter – yellow and green, pale colours, Holloween would be black, orange, green etc. It is totally up to you!
4. Put them in the fridge for 30 minutes to set and then pop them out of the silicone cases. If you are giving them as a gift, you can wrap them up in cellophane bags with a ribbon. You can store these in the fridge or somewhere cool.

Pancake Day 2023

It’s pancake day today! I have a super easy recipe that you can make with your kids, the texture is like the American pancakes, soft and fluffy!

Ingredients:

1 egg, 1/3 cup of plain flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, 45ml milk, and 1 tsp butter & 1/2 tbsp oil for frying.

Suggestions for toppings – Maple Syrup with berry fruits, Nutella and banana, ice cream and sprinkles or the classic flavor – lemon, and sugar!

Method:

1. Separate the egg, putting the white and yolk in separate bowls. Mix the egg yolk with the flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and milk to make a smooth paste.
2. Beat the egg white and a pinch of salt with an electric whisk or by hand until fluffy and holding its shape. Gently fold the egg white into the yolk mixture. Be careful not to knock out any of the air.
3. Heat the butter and oil in a non-stick frying pan. Dollop a third of the mixture into the pan and cook on each for 1-2 mins or until golden brown. You can make about 3 pancakes or you can make 1 big one! Enjoy!
