Cooking tips and suggestions for kids making this recipe.
- When measuring the flour, scoop the flour into the measuring cup instead of scooping the cup into the flour.
- If adding any mix-ins to the batter, add when the wet ingredients are poured into the bowl.
- Crack the eggs into a separate bowl then pour into the batter to prevent any accidental shells from going into the batter.
