Pancakes and Waffles!

Like I mentioned in the previous post, today was an exciting day. This afternoon we continued with our kitchen chemistry.

We read the story Pancakes, Pancakes! by Eric Carle.
In the story the boy Jack wanted to have a big pancake for his breakfast, but first had to help his mum get all the ingredients.
In the story Jack had to harvest grain for flour, collect eggs from the chicken coop, help milk a cow, churn the butter and make a fire to cook the pancakes on.
As we read the story we talked about the differences and and where we got the ingredients from that we used today.

Then we made our own batter, but changed the way we cooked it. We ended up making pancakes and waffles. We were on the look out to see what was different and what was the same.
