Curious Buttercup and Oliver Make Pancakes

Last night at bedtime, Oliver asked me to read "a book that I haven't read in a long time." I guess that after 2 months of reading books about sea creatures, he was finally ready to read something else. :-)

So I chose this old favorite: Curious George Makes Pancakes.














After we read the book, Oliver asked if we could make pancakes (there's a recipe on the back of the book and we've used it a few times before). So we decided to have a pancake lunch today!

First, Oliver helped by rinsing the blueberries.














Buttercup helped by repeatedly banging her metal measuring cup against the metal bowl . . .














. . . and sampling blueberries.














Then we were ready to get started!


















I cracked the egg, then Oliver added the milk and whisked the first ingredients together.
































Buttercup amused herself while Oliver was busy.


















Then it was time to add flour . . .


















. . . baking powder, and salt.














Buttercup provided more entertainment while Oliver and I took turns mixing the batter.




































Finally, the batter was ready!














Oliver helped me make a blueberry smiley face like George did in the book.














And the verdict? YUM!
