Making a decision that her mother will treat her sweet child exclusively with her own dishes, sooner or later she faces the problem of a limited number of children's “right” recipes. That's when English cuisine comes to the rescue . More specifically, meat and Yorkshire pudding. Why exactly them? It's simple: the ingredients for these dishes will suit even the smallest gourmets.
Yorkshire pudding: preparing the foundation
Having acquired a cookbook that reveals the secrets of English cuisine, my mother will be surprised to find that there are a great many cooking options and product ratios. Therefore, the simplest method of cooking will be described below (after all, any parent knows how difficult it is to devote a large amount of time to culinary experiments when a small “typhoon” runs at home).
What products should be prepared in advance? Firstly, flour in the amount of one hundred thirty grams, and more simply, one glass. Secondly, milk. Two hundred milliliters, or the same measuring cup , will be enough . Thirdly, eggs in the amount of four pieces. And finally, salt to taste and fat (animal or vegetable) for lubrication.
How to cook pudding? First, sieve the indicated amount of flour into a container with high sides. This is done in order for the Yorkshire pudding to acquire additional airiness in the baking process. Then, eggs are beaten in a separate bowl and poured into a prepared flour, constantly mixed, with a thin stream. After a homogeneous mixture has been formed, it is the turn of milk, the addition of which occurs according to the same scheme that was applied to the eggs. At the end, add salt (if required).
Pudding is baked this way: the gas oven should be heated to 220 degrees, and the electric oven to 240. In it, heat the baking dish (provided that silicone is not used), which must then be greased with existing fat. Then pour the prepared semi-finished product and send it to bake for twenty to thirty minutes until a golden brown hue appears.
Yorkshire pudding can be served as an independent dish. But, adding to it meat or fruit and curd puree, parents will arrange a real feast for the child. True, the question arises here: from what age can such a dish be offered to a little gourmet? If you follow the tables of the introduction of complementary foods, then this pudding is suitable for the baby who celebrated his first birthday.
Meat Pudding: Benefits and Pleasure
A lot has been said about the benefits and value of meat for a growing organism. Children's nutritionists recommend offering up to 70 grams of this product per day. But the trouble is: for children whose teeth erupt late, a small set of dishes is provided. Therefore, loving mothers should pay attention to such a simple and tasty dish as meat pudding.
What products should be prepared in advance? Of course, meat. And, since we are preparing for the baby, it is better to give your preference to veal, but beef is also suitable. The total amount is, as already mentioned, up to 70 grams. In this case, you can take ready-made baby meat puree. Next, you need one yolk and milk in the amount of six tablespoons. In addition, you will need breadcrumbs in the amount of one teaspoon.
How to cook pudding? The cooking process naturally begins with the mixing of the products. If preference was given to ordinary boiled meat, then it should be passed through a meat grinder twice. After that, the veal is combined with yolk, breadcrumbs and milk and kneaded to a uniform mass. The resulting mixture can be salted or finely chopped greens added. After pouring the semi-finished product into the mold and steaming for twelve minutes. As you can see, the recipe is designed for gourmets from ten months.
In conclusion, it should be noted that both of these puddings can be combined in one meal. To do this, bake Yorkshire pudding in a wider form than meat. And when serving, form a kind of “sandwich”.
