Low Cost Things To Do With Kids: Make Pancakes

Posted by drozzell on November 16, 2008

Ok, this can be a bit messy, but it sure is fun—and tasty! Pancake mixes and recipes that yield a pancake batter in less than 10 minutes are readily available. I like the Bisquick recipe myself, but many others give similar results. Let your child or children help with the cooking. You can have your son or daughter mix the batter and ladle the batter onto the griddle. Show him or her how and when to turn the pancakes with a spatula. The best part is eating the results. Try different kinds of toppings on the pancakes and talk about which you like the best. My favorites are maple syrup (or regular syrup), powdered sugar, different flavors of jam, honey, cinnamon-sugar. YUM!
