Sweet Corn for dessert

Last week, when the children learned about yellow colour, they were quite interested with the corn. However, most of them called it "jagung" (in Malay language). Therefore, I wanted them to learn to remember the English name of it. Therefore, today, I'm going to guide the children to prepare a simple dessert which they all loves - cook sweet kernel.

I brought in about 5 cut corns with one which still covered with husk. The children take turns to observed it. They were laughing at the silk. Saying that it looked like their hair.

 Then, I brought all of them to the dining hall to start our dessert making. Each of them will get a small portion of the cut cob and started to peel the kernel into their bowl. At the same time, I boiled some water to get ready for cooking the kernel.

Wow! The children's fingers muscle must have grown quite strong and well. This time, they could peel the cob clean!! Look at that!

Then, I cooked all the kernels that the children had peeled off. After that, I added in some butter and salt for the taste. Then everyone of them will get a small scoop of the dessert. "Yummy!" "It's delicious!" That's what they said.
