Seiously quick recipies for a kids cookery class

squeakyduck

I have a class of kids begging me to do a cookery class with them. It's only a 40 minute class so I would need something extra quick with little or no prep involved as I have class after that I need to get to.

I have looked on the internet but everything seems to be very preppy. Something that kids would like is a bonus. Probably sweetie things!

What sort of age group? Maybe something like this, I've made this several times as biscuits.

Ciaran was asked to do a cooking demo at school this week for the inspector coming so this is what he is making,its sooooo easy and there is no cooking involved, if you could make 1 in advance so once the kids have theirs made for setting they could taste it with out having to wait

What kind of equipment will you have available? Pancakes/crepes are very easily prepped and cooked. Skills to be learned with the measuring and whisking. You could do loads of different toppings with them as well, from fruit, a cheese & ham combo, all the way to chocolate buttons and marshmallows.

I make "top hats" with my 8 year old although I'm not sure it counts as cooking.

Melt chocolate, pour into a paper case about 1cm deep, pop on a marshmallow and on top of the marshmallow a dob of choc and a smartie.

I use white chocolate and a few different food colourings if I'm feeling adventurous.

Might be a bit too simple for older kids but easy and tasty for younger ones.

This is a recipe my aunt used to let us make at Christmas. It started with a boiled peeled potato, mash smooth, with hands ( let potato cool until it can easily be handled) work in Powdered sugar until it forms a dough that is stiff enough to roll out on waxed paper. Kids love rolling stuff out. Roll out about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. Spread on a layer of peanut butter. From the long side roll up like a jelly roll, into a tube. Cut into slices with a sharp knife, or since these are kids give them a piece of unflavored dental floss and let them slide it under and cross over and pull ends to slice. Let slices air dry - wrap individually in wax paper and store airtight. She saved coffee can jars for us to put them in ( we taped paper over the outside of these too with our own crayon designed decoration for labels) then we ate them and fed them to our father.:)
