need 150grams of plain flour a teaspoon ofbaking powder three pinches of salt 150milliliters of milk 1 egg 30 grams ofcaster sugar as many blueberries as youcan spare and some maple syrup as anoptional now I have laid out all of myingredients in the order that we’regoing to use them just to help meremember what we need and we have asieve and a mixing bowl wooden spoonwhisk measuring jug and over there wehave our large frying pan with thebutter ready to go the ladle and the[Music]make sure it says zero to start off withnow we don’t push it down their fingersotherwise we’re going to measure ourfingers and not have enough so we need115 million grams hundred fifty gramsmilliliters is funny quotes and grams151 we can have one or two extra gramsthat’s fine so we’ve got the flourbaking and we need one teaspoon ofbaking powder now do you remember whatthe baking powder does to it no it makesthem carbon dioxide bubbles which makesyour busser go light and fluffy whatelse do we need a little bit of salt sowe’re going to add in three pinches ofsalt we don’t want too much in there cuzit would just be too salty so generallyas we’re cooking we get to try all ofour ingredients don’t we but what arethe two things that we don’t eat raweggs raw meat so we make sure that themore thirst but otherwise I alwaysencourage you to try your food firstnow we’ve both got our aprons on becausewe don’t want to get ourselves to grumpybut also we don’t want the class gettinginto the food okay did you want tofinish me I said no one way sniffingwe’re just giving it a gentle tap for agentle shake and then just make surethat we’re going to have big lumps inour flour but it also helps to make itnice inviting fluffy it does I think itlooks like snow how high up can you doit without it going everywhere and howhigh how can you do it without it that’spretty high Oha bit lower against how well my ownskipperwas it as high as your arms could go Idon’t think I would do that because I’dprobably get it all on your head okaynow we need some castor sugarhow much castor sugar we need thirtygrams and we need to stir this in withthe wooden spring I’m going to sip thisas well because this has got sugar doesit show you are you alone I thought 33rooms in therenow you don’t need to use quite as muchsugar if you don’t want it to be thatsweet you can look into the alternativesugars so you can give that a stir mixthat through not really gonna beblueberry pancakes without blueberriesare they okay give it a whirl mix it alltogether okay so next we’re gonna crackour kids cracking the eggs you hold abit on its side and you’re going knockand you’ll hear that it goes a bitdifferent I’ll bring this closer to thecamera that’s what it does it makes anice line in there I wish that I couldbalance it for you you get your thumbsin last time I did this it went all overthe floor so get your thumbs in likethat and then I always always crack myeggs into a different container firstjust in casethe easiest way to get shots get a bitof water on your finger but all you tryto pull us out because it will stick toyou your finger into another side okayso egg into the bowl I need to add somemilk into there so let’s pop this on thescalesit’s my zero that’s off and then nowwhat do I say we measure liquids in asit grams grams or milliliters forliquids 115 now Charlotte is justbreaking up the egg in it yeah it’salready mixed in there oh did I look itslowly for youcan we pick that up again greatpersonally I like that now we haven’tadded the blueberries in yet because wewant to make sure they really stir andmix through this bottle and make sure wedon’t have any surprise ups of flourbecause when we bite into our pancakeswe don’t want toand how does your mixing at home you’vegot really strong arms to help you withmixing it’s because all the flowersstill numpy we need to make sure that wemix it oh so it’s not never be likeporridge see this fortunately for meisn’t to missing a
