Our 2 yr old niece has been visiting for the weekend. She is not one of these fickle eaters – she eats everything you put in front of her and is more than happy to try new food. I needed a quick recipe yesterday for our afternoon tea given the minimal amount of ingredients I had in the cupboard. I pulled out my favourite recipe book – my 100 page plastic leaf folder filled with old favourite recipes or new recipes that look interesting as I have come across them in magazines or newspapers. I found this recipe which I tried for the first time and the result was approved by everyone including the 2 yr old! A very easy recipe for young ones to help with also.
