Junior Chef: Cheesy Biscuits

Our Junior Chefs in momstown Edmonton had another great experience at The Pan Tree this month! On the hottest day of the summer, we got to do some baking in a fantastically air conditioned location. Glorious! Our momstown Edmonton chefs made delicious Cheesy Biscuits. They loved being able to grate the cheese and knead their dough. And they turned out so yummy! This would be a great recipe to use for breakfast sandwiches!
