Pancakes!
Pancakes!
When the weather
is grey, when it is
cold and raining, how miserable are we! Fortunately,
to feel better, there is one means, it is to prepare something good
together.
-
Tomorrow, at
the Martin's, it is mom's birthday. Marina,
who is eight years old, decided to secretely prepare pancakes!
" Hello!
Granny! Could you tell
me how to make pancakes, please? - pancakes, my darling? All by yourself? - Of course not!
Granny! Cyril will help me! ".
Cyril at
six is a quick witted kid, but Mamie has misgivings about leaving these two
children in the kitchen... Anyway, she can always give them
the recipe, specifying that it is necessary to
wait a long time, and she will come round later...
The two
children
start with flour:
-
one, two three large
cups drop into the bowl, raising a large white cloud...
-
Eggs,
now! Crac!.. crac!.. crac-splash! The third one is all over the floor!
the children look at themselves
frightened...
Nevermind,
let's go on!
They
stir the mixture until it is smooth; they add milk... Cyril gets so
carried away that the dough splashes over his shirt and even into his eyes, Nothing to
worry about...
|
She adds
sugar, a
pinch of salt, a drop of orange-flower water. Here comes the most
difficult part. The first pancake turns into a charred ball, the second one
too, but from the third on, the situation improves until Marina who has
become over confident tosses the pancake so high that it falls down onto her
head... ouch!
|
They
keep on working until
they've
prepared a
handsome pile of pancakes.
They've worked
well, both of them, mom will have a beautiful
surprise: on a large flowery dish, the children display their work. The
whole house smells good of pancakes. Granny has brought a jar of strawberry jam
and there is some honey left in the cupboard: What a treat!
And
how about inviting our new neighbour who seems so nice?
