This pancake recipe is designed with kids in mind. Pancakes are a good candidate because the ingredients are simple, and kids can mix them together themselves. The adult(s) will have to oversee the use of the griddle and give some instruction on pancake flipping. This easy pancake recipe for kids is a great way to get kids involved in preparing breakfast. They will build skills and cooking competence while also making family memories. Your child might even propose making pancakes for dinner. They make think it's fun to cook; it may be a new interest that they'll take up and look forward to doing with you. Discuss what toppings will be used, from good old-fashioned butter and maple syrup to fruit toppings or even peanut butter. For kids who are just learning to flip pancakes, a griddle, if you have one, is recommended over a frying pan. Instructions are given for both methods. Before you start, make a point of washing your hands and those of your child before you touch the clean utensils and ingredients. This will be a good life skill to cultivate.
