I love reading your take and I'm glad it doesn't bore you. : ) Would you believe I read complaints about Deb featuring her son "too much" in her Smitten Kitchen cookbook! I remember being dumbfounded by that.<br /><br />I do hope and think you're right. The little one does have a good time in the kitchen and once he starts, he tells me he wants to do "everything". : ) I try to interject some "cooking" here and there so it's no-pressure, like asking him to stir something for me, etc.....and I hope these little moments add up. We're working on things like cracking eggs - it's definitely interesting!<br /><br />Regarding the donut pan...if you don't want to buy one, I see nothing wrong with donut muffins. There are many recipes out there that way. And if you think about jelly or boston cream donuts, there's no hole anyway! Also, since most donut batters are on the thick side (I believe...), you could "configure" something - say like making putting a piece of foil in the middle - if you wanted to make a hole that way? I think it could work but you also don't want to drive yourself too crazy and feel like you never want to make it again! : ) <br />Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439320856223502707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628445235517647413.post-36062668138460942642014-01-11T20:10:08.615-05:002014-01-11T20:10:08.615-05:00What a fun snow day activity!

Certainly i have the snow part down, just need to add donuts. :) love this!

I have quite a few baking sessions with my boys and naturally the favourite part are the sprinkles or other decorations. I glaze the doughnuts in ganache but your glaze sounds lovely.

Don't ever think that blogging about cooking with your son is boring. Its wonderful! Cooking with kids is all about exposure and experimentation. Even if they "help" for a few minutes, then leave, its exposure. Showing kids that playing in the kitchen is fun impacts their future comfort with cooking. I really believe its all the spoon licking and stirring during tv sports commercial breaks that got my son comfortable in the kitchen. :) Once he realized what he could create (like these donuts) there was no stopping him. I am guessing, Monica, that after such a delicious success (and glowing online comments), your son will be eagerly anticipating similar projects! Before you know it you will be the sous chef. :)<br />I don't have a donut pan and have often wondered, while drooling over recipes like this, if the batter could be baked in a muffin pan. What do you think? Is the hole essential? A donut muffin with glaze and sprinkles sounds pretty good to me! A side of dipping glaze would make it even better. :)Wendyhttp://www.themondaybox.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628445235517647413.post-40605986505932747712014-01-10T17:45:54.622-05:002014-01-10T17:45:54.622-05:00Thank you - I was inspired by so many wonderful do...Thank you - I was inspired by so many wonderful donuts I saw on other blogs too.
