This is a great book for anybody baking for kids. Easy recipes, clear instructions. If you don't buy unsalted butter, use regular and subtract 3/8 tsp. salt for each stick. Includes both traditional recipes (Banana Bread, Brownies) and some more modern ones (Spiced apple and raisin turnovers, Coffee-Toffee Ice Cream Pie). Except for the birthday cakes, which require cake flour, there are no fussy ingredients here. If you like to bake, this is worth your while. The pancakes are great and include ones with buttermilk and an alternate that uses plain milk. ( )
