Looking for a fun and delicious activity to occupy your kids this summer? Have them make their own Berry Shortcake.<\/p>\n\n\n

Early one morning, J got it in his head he wanted to bake. And waiting until I had some coffee wasn't an option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He got out a children's cookbook Honest Pretzels<\/a> we had checked out of the library and chose Berry Much Shortcake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a little help on the oven parts (he is still very cautious with the stove and oven) he read and followed the directions independently, while I tried to photograph him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did I mention it was very early in the morning? Not the greatest time to try to photograph a rapidly moving object in my rather dark kitchen, especially when only partially caffeinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has been helping in the kitchen for much of his 7 years, so he knows how to level the dry ingredients and find the matching mark on the liquid measuring cup. If your kids don't, take a minute to show them while they make this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One tip I have used with J in the past is to use a wet erase marker and mark the measurement line (in this case \u2154 cup), then tell him to fill to that line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don't have kids? I am pretty sure an adult could handle making this without any help, ha ha!<\/p>\n\n\n
