      \n
    • 125g plain flour \ud83c\udf3e<\/li>\n
    • 1 tablespoon sugar \ud83c\udf6f<\/li>\n
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder \ud83e\udd44<\/li>\n

      How to Make Pancakes (Step-by-Step) \ud83d\udc4f<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator align=”align_left” css=””][vc_empty_space height=”25px”]\t

      \n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t[vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text css=””]\n

      Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients<\/strong><\/h4>\n
        \n
      • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Let your little helper measure and pour the ingredients \u2013 it\u2019s great for practising maths skills! \ud83d\udccf<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients<\/strong><\/h4>\n
          \n
        • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Kids will love cracking the egg and whisking everything together! \ud83e\udd44\ud83e\udd5a<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Step 3: Combine Everything<\/strong><\/h4>\n
            \n
          • Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. It\u2019s okay if there are a few lumps \u2013 they make the pancakes fluffier! \ud83c\udf00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Step 4: Heat the Pan<\/strong><\/h4>\n
              \n
            • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Let kids watch as the butter melts and sizzles! \ud83d\udd25<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Step 5: Cook the Pancakes<\/strong><\/h4>\n
                \n
              • Pour small circles of batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes), then flip! Cook for another minute or so until golden brown. \ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!<\/strong><\/h4>\n
                  \n
                • Stack the pancakes high and let your kids go wild with their favourite toppings! \ud83c\udf8a<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text css=””]\n
