Let's Get Baking! - Gingerbread Baubles.
Last week our Coconut Snowballs recipe was very popular, both in our house and by everyone reading along with us!
This week we are following a recipe! (This is quote rare for me usually I look up ingredients, put them in a bowl and hope for the best!) The recipe we are following is here. It is how ever not very gingery so I would recommend adding an extra spoon of ginger to the recipe.
Most of the actual mixing of the ingredients is done in a food processor, however you could do this by hand it will just take more time. We did use a food processor to mix everything, I did this part alone, but after it was mixed D and Daddy really had fun helping me to knead the dough and wrap it up ready to go in the fridge for 15 minutes.
I have to say this week was lot more hands on, D loved getting his hands into the dough and poking and prodding as you tell from our pictures. During the 15 minutes I used the time to tidy up, better to do it as you go along. We then rolled out the dough and began starting to cut out our Christmas baubles. Although I do have to admit I rolled them too thick and I thought we did have a Gingerbread Man shape. Oops a daisy.
Once in the oven and baked we got our piping bag, a mug and chocolate. Top tip: when melting chocolate to pipe a design. Pop the piping bag inside a mug fold down the top around the mugs edge. Add the chocolate and put in the microwave in 10-15 second increments until melted using a teaspoon handle to stir the chocolate in the bag.If you don't have a bag use a zip lock storage bag, just make sure it is cleaned out first.
D also really enjoyed this bit, I mean who wouldn't squeeze the bag and chocolate comes out! so we decorated our Christmas baubles with lots of yummy chocolate both white and milk kinds. I am also going to make sure we put a little hole at the top of some next time (These are being made for Santa on Christmas eve). Once they are dry we will hang 2-3 on the tree to have before going to bed for Santa coming!

Juggling fun with home schooling {Our Ordinary Moments}
We're starting another new week of homeschooling and I am starting to struggle with finding fun things to do that break up our day after...


What a fun thing to do together. I think I've got too much OCD to get backing with my toddler haha #brilliantblogposts
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of non messy things to bake with toddlers. This recipe is as long as you make the dough. It's like playing with play doh. And you can use roll out icing for a less messy approach just roll cut and put a little bit of water on your finger run over the back of the icing and set on the gingerbread :)
ReplyDeleteWow how fab are they and love all your pictures! Thanks for linking up to #brilliantblogposts
