Pancake Sequencing

  t was breakfast time. “I want to make the pancakes!” Ellie said. 

“No problem,” her mother said. “I will show you how.” 

First they mixed together flour, an egg, milk, a teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt in a big blue bowl. 

Next they put some butter in the pan, and put it on the stove to heat up. 

“When the butter is hot,” Ellie’s mother said, “We will pour in the batter.” 

Then Ellie used a measuring cup to pour batter into the pan. It made a hissing sound, and soon the batter began to bubble. 

“It is time to turn the pancake,” Ellie’s mother said. 

Ellie used a spatula to flip the pancake. The pancake was a beautiful golden brown. 

When it was done, Ellie lifted the pancake out of the pan and slid it onto a plate. “Who wants the first pancake?” Ellie called. 

Ellie and her mother made ten pancakes. 

Finally they joined the rest of the family at the breakfast table, Ellie covered her pancakes with syrup and dug in. They were the best pancakes that she had ever eaten!
