Christmas baking is a time for the family to come together. For many families baking is a tradition at Christmas time. Every year the same recipes are taken out and the ingredients bought and prepared. Cookies, plum pudding and Christmas cake are the usual with some family members preferring chocolate cake.
Sifting flour, mixing fruit and rolling cookie dough are a wonderful way to bond with your children. Baking teaches kids about measurements and the effect of cooking the raw ingredients. Children love to be part of the action and given a responsibility. It is a very special time you can have with your children, so make sure you plan it out well and be prepared for all the mess afterwards.
The end result, no matter what it looks like, gives children a sense of accomplishment and pride.
