Cafécito Corner For Kids Recipe

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Mix dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Add wet ingredients

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Combine mixture

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add this mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.

Shape and bake

Spoon the batter into a greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Brew the coffee

In a coffee maker, add the coffee grounds and pour in 4 cups of water. Brew according to the coffee maker’s instructions.

Steam the milk

In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. If you have a milk frother, use it to froth the milk for a creamier texture.

Serve

Pour brewed coffee into mugs and add steamed milk. Sweeten with sugar if desired.

Optional hot chocolate

For hot chocolate, mix cocoa powder with a bit of hot water to create a paste, then stir in steamed milk and sweeten to taste.

Prepare the fruit

Wash the strawberries and blueberries under cool water. Slice the banana into rounds.

Serve

Arrange the fruits on a serving platter or individual cups for easy serving.
