Crepe

Let’s make some delicious crepes that bring a taste of spring.

Mix flour and eggs to prepare the crepe batter.

A frying pan works fine for cooking, but how about trying a hot plate? With a hot plate, you can set it on the table and make the batter right there.

Of course, you can also prepare the batter at the table, so you can sit while making it.

If you make crepes while seated, even older adults who find it difficult to stand can participate.

Once the batter is cooked, add strawberries and whipped cream, roll it up, and add extra toppings.

Tasty crepes are sure to satisfy older adults as well.

Let’s make kashiwa-mochi.

When it comes to Children’s Day and Tango no Sekku, it has to be kashiwa mochi! So delicious, right? Let’s try making kashiwa mochi at home.

That’s all there is to it.

As long as you have the red bean paste ready, it’s surprisingly easy to make.

And when you make it yourself, it tastes so much better!
