Here at Buildskill Plus, we take our construction training to the next level, and we would like to share the following information, to aid anyone who may be struggling today:

To construct a pancake, follow these steps:

1. Gather the ingredients: You will need flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, and butter.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 2 beaten eggs.

4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes.

5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray if desired.

6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or cooking spray as needed.

8. Serve the pancakes warm with your favourite toppings, such as syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Enjoy your homemade pancakes!

We appreciate that not everyone has the time, or patience for homemade pancakes, so even if they are store bought please feel free to share with us!
