Peppa
Pig and her little brother, George love watching Mummy Pig
make pancakes. They giggle as Mummy lets them stir the pancake
batter together, and then snort with excitement as Mummy flips
the pancakes in the frying pan! Here's a chance for your child
to join in with the fun.
Just make sure you don't let Daddy Pig near the frying pan,
unless you want the pancakes to end up on the ceiling!
1. Break the eggs into a medium-sized
bowl, sieve in the flour and pour in the milk. Explain to
your child what you're doing with each of the ingredients,
and then let them mix all the ingredients together in the
bowl using a wooden spoon.
2. Once the batter is mixed, let them watch as you heat the
sunflower oil in a frying pan. If the oil starts to spit,
the heat is on too high. Wait a few moments before pouring
some of the batter into the pan for the first pancake.
3. Cook the pancake for about 3 minutes, and then flip it
over in the pan to cook the other side. This is a guaranteed
crowd-pleaser for any little kitchen helpers!
4. Repeat instructions for further pancakes
5 Serve pancakes immediately. A sprinkle of sugar, chopped-up
fresh or dried fruit all make delicious pancake toppings.
Or for an extra creative touch, why not get your child to
"draw" a smiley face pancake using pieces of fruit
or yoghurt? It's the perfect way to mix healthy-eating and
breakfast time fun.
