For first time bakers and children, Gary suggests biscuit making is the best way to get started. He said: “It’s great to do this with kids because it should only take 15 to 20 minutes for a biscuit to bake, and it doesn’t really matter what shape they come out.
“I’ve got great memories of making biscuits with my mum. We can now introduce that side of it to our kids and it’s an entry point for them to start enjoying cooking and baking.”
People across the UK can download a free Raise Some Dough fundraising pack online, which includes a book packed full of tasty biscuit recipes from celebrities including Stephen Fry, Dame Joanna Lumley and Judy Murray.
It costs just £19.15 to feed a child with Mary’s Meals for a whole school year, which means every penny raised through baking will help to ‘transform’ young lives around the world.
