French toast

[Hanauta Day Service Shimizu] Snack Activity: Let’s Make French Toast!

Place a hot plate on the table and try making French toast.

It’s recommended for older adults because they can enjoy cooking while seated.

Prepare slices of bread cut into bite-sized pieces.

Put eggs and milk into a bowl and have the older adult mix them.

Soak the bread in the mixture, then cook it on the hot plate greased with butter or oil.

It may remind older adults of times when they cooked and served meals for their families.

It’s easy to make, so please give it a try.

Crepe

[Sweets Recipe] Roll it up! Easy and cute ♡ Spring dessert: How to make strawberry crepes

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.
