Pancakes

In our English Book Voices 3 we are currently learning about Canada, blogs and maple syrup. The perfect combination for a morning in the kitchen, where we were able to put these topics to practical use and make pancakes for breakfast for both our and Mrs. Roffler's class who had to go to their Geometry lesson and couldn't help cooking.
