Crispy round the edges and soft in the middle, they\u2019re so fluffy and sweet, buttery and golden, that everyone will want some! <\/p>\n The Runaway Pancake <\/em>is a bright and contemporary retelling of the classic tale about a cheeky pancake who makes a great escape! With bright, diverse illustrations and rhythmic, lively text, this is the perfect picture book to share at storytime.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ask an adult for help when cooking your pancakes.<\/em><\/p>\n 1. Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. <\/p>\n 2. Crack the eggs into the mixed flour and salt.<\/p>\n 3. Beat with a spoon or a whisk until combined.<\/p>\n 4. Pour in the milk a little at a time and keep beating, until you get a nice smooth batter without any lumps.<\/p>\n 5. Melt the butter or oil in a hot frying pan and pour in a thin layer of batter.<\/p>\n 6. When the top of the pancake is firm enough, gently flip it over (don\u2019t let it run away!) 7. Once both sides are brown, carefully slide your pancake onto a plate and add your topping.<\/p>\n 8. Enjoy!<\/p>\n We\u2019d love to see photographs of your pancakes!
