Are You Looking for a Pediatric Dentist for your Children? Look no Further!


Pediatric Dentistry of Garden City
516-222-5100


Are you new to the Long Island area and looking for a dentist for your children? Come see us at Pediatric Dentistry of Garden City!

Toddlers and preschoolers are amazing patients with personalities ranging from cautious and shy to gregarious and curious! Regardless of your young child’s personality, our goal here at Pediatric Dentistry of Garden City is to make your child’s first visit informative and fun!

Some parents wonder what to say before bringing children to the dentist for the first time. As we all know, many children fear the dentist and it can be difficult to get them there sometimes! However, you might find mentioning “Dr. Stacey is a very special doctor who helps children have healthy beautiful smiles” to ease them into their first visit! It is important for your children to build trust with their pediatric dentist!

St. Patrick’s Day is quickly approaching! Do your children like the classic Irish favorite Irish Soda Bread? If so, this weekend is the perfect time to test out a new Irish Soda Bread recipe with them!
Get your aprons on and the mixing bowls out and whip up a delicious batch of this classic favorite just in time for St. Patrick’s Day!

Don’t have a recipe? We've got you covered! Let us know what you think on our Facebook page!




Ingredients
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for currants
  • 4 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into ½ inch dice
  • 1 ¾ cup cold buttermilk, shaken
  • 1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1 cup dried currants

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is incorporated with the flour.

With a fork, lightly beat buttermilk, egg, and orange zest together in a measuring cup. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Combine the currants with 1 tablespoon of flour and mix into the dough. (It will be very wet.)

Place the dough on a well-floured board and knead it a few times into a round loaf. Place the loaf on the prepared sheet pan and lightly cut an X into the top of the bread with a serrated knife. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. When you tap the loaf, it will have a hollow sound.
Cool on a baking rack and serve at room temperature!
