Fun stuff for kids and parents

Tried and tested on willing guinea piglets

This optimistic, self-employed writer, translator, columnist and mum knows that with kids, a dash of charm and a good giggle beat fear of failure every time.

So here are some out-of-the-box ideas to keep kids and parents happy for hours...

Hedgehog muffins!!!






500


For about 40 muffins, you will need

gram




flour
100grambutter
500gramsugar
8eggs
4dl.milk
6tsk.baking powder
4tsk.vanilla sugar
sweetie eyes and noses
Topping:
240gramButter
200gramdessicated coconut
500grambrown sugar
1dl.milk

If you want fewer muffins, get your child to do some useful maths (division :o)

Muffins
Whisk the butter and sugar together well. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well. Mix in the rest of the ingredients.


Fill the muffin cases about two thirds of the way up and put the cases touching so that they come out square and you can use one corner as the nose. Bake in an oven at 200 degrees centigrade (400 Fahrenheit or mark 6) for about 16 minutes or until a skewer poked in comes out clean.

Topping
Melt all the topping ingredients in a saucepan while the cake is baking.

Take out the cake and put the topping on two-thirds of each muffin (see below). Leave a nose poking out. 


Bake for another 5 minutes. Add sweetie eyes and noses glued on with cake gel/icing sugar.



NOW put pictures on Facebook, tag each of your friends as a different hedgehog, 
sell them for a bit of profit (we're selling ours for DKK 5 each), and send any proceeds to the Danish hedgehog society.

Don't feel bad about just making the muffins for birthdays etc. and putting out water for hedgehogs during the summer. We'll be making a hedgehog house in a week or two.
