LINK TO MY PINSPIRATION
OUR PINSPIRED CREATION
As part of our Summertime Fun list, I decided I would cook something with the Littlies each week. I found some fun and different recipes on Pinterest, that I thought they would like. This was the first one we tried. I had to convert the American baking terms to something I could understand, but once I'd done this we were away. The recipe said to use a mixer, but to keep the Littlies more involved we used a large mixing bowl and wooden spoons. Little Prince enjoyed making the dough balls more than Princess Lollipop, who didn't like getting her hands sticky! We managed to keep the hand washing to between batches of flavour/colour instead of between each dough ball, as Princess Lollipop tried to insist she needed!!
We used four different flavours of jelly powder mix - blackcurrant, orange, raspberry and strawberry. And probably due to differences between US Jello and UK Jelly our flavours were overwhelming, and our colours weren't anywhere near as strong. Princess Lollipop tried blackcurrant and orange, and hated both, she refused to try any other flavours after that. Little Prince said they were "fantastic" and "awesome" but only really enjoyed the orange flavour, which coincidently is one of his favourite jelly flavours. Mr Messy said they were "alright" but that the flavour was a bit overpowering. We probably squashed our dough balls a little too enthusiastically too, as our biscuits were noticeably thinner than our Pinspiration.
WHAT WE'D DO DIFFERENTLY NEXT TIME
The finished product wasn't a big hit really, so we probably won't be trying this recipe again.
