What are some easy French recipes that kids can make?

Two easy French food recipes that are easy for kids to make are French meringues and riz au lait, or French-style rice pudding. An adult should help kids cook these recipes.

To make French meringues, preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, and then place the four egg whites in a glass or metal bowl. Allow them to get to room temperature, and then using a mixer, begin beating the egg whites. When the egg whites begin to thicken, add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar, and while still mixing, gradually pour in a cup of superfine sugar. It could take up to 15 minutes until the eggs become stiff, glossy and ready to place on parchment paper.

Use a spoon to form cookies, place in the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours, and then turn off the oven, and allow the meringues to dry for several hours. When completely dry, lift them off the parchment paper.

To make the rice pudding, boil a large pot of water, pour in 1 1/4 cup of pearl rice and boil for two minutes. In the meantime, pour 4 cups of milk into a pot and place on medium heat. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of salt and allow to simmer. Drain the rice, and put it into the milk and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1/3 cup of sugar, cook for five minutes, remove from the heat and stir in a teaspoon of vanilla before placing in serving cups.
