Helpful Hints:
|
Kids of all ages will have fun stirring-up these cupcakes! Use an extra large bowl for mixing and stirring so ingredients stay in the bowl and don’t spill on the countertop. Premeasure some ingredients so kids can get to the fun of mixing quickly. Set a wet cloth under the mixing bowl to keep it from slipping. An easy way to fill muffin cups is to use an ice cream or cookie scoop. While cupcakes are baking, help kids put ingredients away, wash dishes and get ready to sample!
 |
Safety Tip:
|
This batter contains raw eggs. Remember to explain to kids that raw eggs can make us sick - especially young children. So no licking the bowl or spoon! Wait until the cupcakes are baked before sampling!
