I mentioned in a previous post how much we love Eric Carle's books, and I was happy to find Pancakes, Pancakes! for 99 cents at Goodwill last week. Both kids love the story, and insist that it be read every day...sometimes several times a day. Gavin especially loves the book and begged to make the pancakes EXACTLY like Jack does and by himself for breakfast!
And so he did! The only thing I did was supervise, and light the stove - that's it! Gavin did everything else!
Now just as Gavin requested, he wanted the exact ingredients that Jack had: a cup of flour, a cup of milk, and one egg. Gavin said to me "But Mama, we have to bring the grain to the miller!" LOL I told him we don't need to, we have flour! :)
Flour
Milk
Crackin' the egg
Mixin' it all up!
Butter for the pan
Batter in the pan
Flippin' his pancakes :)
In the story, Jack tops his pancakes with strawberry jam. Instead, we used blueberry jam that Gavin's Meme gave to us and a little honey :)
What a great chef! He was so excited! He even set the table for all of us to enjoy :)
He could not stop smiling! Haley kept on saying "Yummm, brother!"
Best pancakes this Mama has ever had! :) :)
