How to make pancake batter
The life skills children made their own pancakes. This is what you need to do. First you need 300 ml of milk, then you need 100g of flour and 2 eggs. Put the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until it is pancake batter. Then put in the fridge to cool down. Recipe by Bailey.
