Mrs. Hammer’s Lunch Bunch Cooking Class Recipes
Cooking class has started off with great success! From learning about “thank you” bites to savoring the delicious food they create, it’s a joy to witness the children’s excitement and pride as they complete each recipe.
The first week, the focus was on peeling and cutting — such a wonderful milestone to see them accomplish. We also made homemade ranch dressing, which was a hit.
Ranch Dressing
¼ cup Mayo
¼ cup sour cream
½ cup buttermilk
1 tbl onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbl dried herbs
1 tsp of dill
Salt/pepper to taste
(feel free to adjust dried herbs accordingly)
Apple Donuts
Second week, the recipe was a special treat: apple donuts! These were made by coring and slicing Honeycrisp apples into ½-inch rounds, then wrapping puff pastry strips through the center. Once assembled, we dipped them in a cinnamon-sugar mixture and baked them for about 40 minutes. A simple, delicious dessert you can easily try at home!
Honeycrisp apples
1 – box of Trader Joes puff pastry (this is excellent because it is made with butter)
Cinnamon/Sugar to taste
Wash apples, core, slice into rounds. Roll out dough, cutting into strips. Carefully wrap the apple with the dough. May take 2-3 pieces depending upon how big the apple is. Once covered, dip into Cinnamon/sugar. Bake at 375-400, for about 40 minutes.
Enjoy!
