Lemon drizzle squares

A bit of a treat, but so easy to make and great to do quickly with a few ingredients.

As with all our recipes, allowing your child to do as much of the process themselves, where appropriate, is key in supporting their learning and development. So, think about if they can weigh, mix, chop or, scoop independently, as this is where the real learning comes in!
