We start baking

01.01.09 / Baking/Cooking, Child's Play, Chin Nee, Family, Parenting, QQ, remember me / Author: chinneeq

We had a mad rush again yesterday afternoon. While one of the boy was sleeping (another one with Kakak screaming behind), QQ and I quickly start out to work.

Things 4-yr-old QQ could do to help me during baking:

sieve the flour
roll the pastry
cut and stamp the pastry

So, I only have to

measure ingredients
mix the flour and Planta (I use rubbing-in method)
shape the jam onto the mould
manage the oven

In fact, I think QQ could even able to do all the above, if only I teach her to. I find that she really has good talent in baking, even her little hands could handle delicate items, at such young age. Thank GOD I have a daughter !!

Our first batch of Nyonya Pineapple Tart here, using the original Nyonya recipe and method. Will make more cookies from now on Just hope my waist will not grow horizontal otherwise I’ll need to pop diet pill again.*got to run, boys crying again*…ARggghhh!!!!!

QQ is a very good helper. So nice of her to help you in the kitchen. I don’t think I can rely on my kids to do that…..they will mess up my whole kitchen!!!

Happy New Year!
