Recipe Round-Up 6 Kid-Friendly Cast Iron Recipes for the Whole Family Cooking with kids is one of the great joys of long weekends, holidays, and schedule-free summer days. After all, what’s better than making new memories in the kitchen with dishes everyone in the family will love to cook (and eat)? Check out our favorite cast iron recipes that are kid-friendly and kid-at-heart-approved. Classic Pizza Dough Get the kids involved in pizza night by working together on a classic pizza dough recipe. While the dough rises, lay out different toppings, sauces, and cheeses so that everyone can personalize their own pie. Keep it classic with margherita toppings or get creative with shrimp and pesto. Classic Pizza Dough Brownie Wedges Our cast iron wedge pan is the great equalizer, making sure everyone gets an even share of dessert. These brownies come together quickly and make the most of the wedge pan’s divided wells, so everyone gets a bit of crust piece and a bit of ooey-gooey, too. Brownie Wedges Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie This is an especially great baking option if you have lots of little mouths looking for treats. The dough itself is easy enough for big kids to do on their own, or little kids to help with. Plus this skillet cookie can be customized with different types of chocolate, nuts, or chocolate candies, making it a creative project for the whole gang. Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie Cinnamon Twists Our retired CEO Henry Lodge loves this recipe, and it’s always been in high-demand at his home for special “Big Breakfasts.” Now, his grandchildren love to get in on the making and baking, too. Little kids will love shaping the dough, leaving you with twisty, turn-y treats—all of which are as delicious as they are fun. Cinnamon Twists Jam Thumbprint Cookies Meet a cookie that’s packed with stories: more than a few bakers on our team have childhood (or parenthood!) memories made around these pressed cookies. Let every kid make them their own with a variety of jams, fillings, dusting sugars, or nuts. Jam Thumbprint Cookies Sausage Stuffed Pancake Sticks The cast iron cornstick pan is one of our favorites for fun baking projects, but you don’t have to reserve it just for cornbread. These pancake sticks combine all breakfast’s best treats, wrapping sausage links in fluffy pancake batter. Plus, they cook in the oven, so you can save the stovetop for scrambled eggs and over-easies. Sausage Stuffed Pancakes Sticks
