Shrove Tuesday

Happy Pancake Day!!
Here is a simple pancake you could try (Make sure you get an adult to help).

100g  plain flour
250ml milk
1 egg
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of oil

1. Sieve the flour and salt in to a mixing bowl.
2. Crack open the egg and in the bowl.
3. Slowly pour in the milk and stir the mixture.
4. Pour the mixture in to jug and place in the fridge for 30 mins.
5. Heat up a frying pan with the oil and then carefully pour in the mixture (ask an adult for help with this).
6. Try to flip your pancake to cook both sides or use a spatula to turn the pancake.
7. Serve up your pancake with your favourite topping.

My favourite topping is banana and chocolate spread. What is yours?

When we heat the pancake mixture (a liquid) it turns in to a pancake (solid). Is this a reversible change or a permanent change?

Enjoy!
