The poor thing decided this morning to get up because she's bored and make pancakes as I bought a whole box of genuine American "aunt jemima" pancake mix a couple of weeks back. Unfortunately the pancakes were liquid in the middle . Back to the pan for a couple of minutes and sorted
Pancakes (crepes, not Scottish) are one of the easiest things to make from basic ingredients. For my daughter and my breakfast it was one egg, a cup and a quarter of milk, and 5 heaped tablespoons of flour to make 4 28cm pancakes. Mix egg and half the milk, then add the flour and mix, then the rest of the milk. Pour that cream consistency liquid into pan, turn halfway through. You'll get it wrong the first time, but it will still be edible.
No milk? Just use water. No egg? Just add a bit more milk? No egg nor milk? Just use water. You don't notice the difference when it is filled to overflowing with any/all of tinned fish in tomato, peas, last nights leftovers, lemon+sugar, anything that takes your fancy.
Fast, nutritious, filling, delicious - what more could you want.
Plus it is a great way to get kids to understand that food is something you make (not buy), and that mistakes aren't the end of the world.
I learned the latter as a kid when my mother made me a birthday cake and the middle didn't rise. So she cut out the middle, put a mirror at the bottom, added white icing - and added a plastic skier going downhill to the lake
