Strawberries with Powdered Sugar
Wash the strawberries well with water and let them dry on a paper towel. When they are dry, put them in a small dish and sprinkle them with the powdered sugar. (You could also have a small dish of powdered sugar "on the side" if you wish.)Set the table as nicely as you can. If your family has a garden, it would be attractive to have fresh flowers on the table. But check with an adult first! If you have a little sister or brother, this might be a way they can help.
French Toast
What you Need:
Equipment
an adult to help
measuring cups
measuring spoons
mixing bowl
fork or eggbeater
shallow pan
spatula
large frying pan
Ingredients
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon of margarine or butter
2 slices of bread
1 tablespoon of powdered sugar (This is not "table sugar." It looks a lot like flour.)
1/4 teaspoon of powdered cinnamon
syrup (optional)
What to Do:
Crack the egg and put it in the mixing bowl. Beat it with the fork until it is all mixed.Pour the orange juice and serve Mom her special breakfast!Add the milk. Mix these ingredients together and pour them into the shallow pan.
This is where you need a grownup's help:
Put half the butter or margarine into the skillet and turn the burner on to medium-high heat.
Dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly and carefully put them into the pan.
You are going to cook them until they are light brown on both sides. Keep watching (using the spatula to "peek" at the side that is cooking) so that they don't burn. When one side is done, add the other half of the butter and flip the toast over to cook the other side.
While they are cooking, mix the cinnamon with the powdered sugar.
When the toast is done, sprinkle it with the powdered sugar mixture. (If your mom likes syrup, you could put a little on now or let her add her own.)
