Why are pancakes the perfect choice for Children's Day?

As Children's Day approaches, are you thinking about how you could make this day unforgettable for the little ones? Children's Day is a holiday where play and joy are at the center. What better way to celebrate the kids than with a big batch of delicious pancakes?

Pancakes are not just a food! A real favorite that really makes every child's heart skip a beat. Whether it's a sweet or salty variation, everyone will find their favorite.

Kids love to help make pancakes, whether it's frying the pancakes in a pan, or the best part: decorating them. And since making pancakes is quick and easy, you don't have to spend hours in the kitchen, leaving more time to play together.

The secret to the perfect pancake

You probably have a few versions of the pancake recipe in your head. If you have a well-established family recipe, there is no doubt that it is worth keeping! But sometimes it's worth getting a little information on how to further perfect the pancake. That's why we show you our version!

Simple steps for smooth dough

Smooth, lump-free dough is the basis of all delicious pancakes. Start by mixing the dry ingredients (flour, salt, possible sugar) in a bowl, then gradually add the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, melted butter).

It is worth using a hand whisk or robot machine.

The art of frying

The pan should be well heated, making sure that it is not too hot, because the pancakes can easily burn. A little butter or oil can help keep it from sticking.

The first pancake is often a "test pancake" - you can test the temperature with it! Try to make golden brown, evenly fried pancakes!

Seasoning tips

The exciting part of serving is trying different flavors. Does the family like the classic combination of sugar and cinnamon? Or do you want something extra flavored with fruit? Try new ideas: fresh berries or even a little citrus peel to give your pancakes a fresh, refreshing taste! Put colorful fruits, sprinkled sugar and chocolate on the table so that everyone can decorate according to their own taste!

You can customize your pancakes with the fillings. Whether it's salty or sweet variations, everyone can find a combination they like.

Children in the kitchen

And since it's Children's Day, why not involve the children in making pancakes? Pancake baking can be a great family activity where little ones can playfully learn basic kitchen skills while enjoying some valuable time together. Baking pancakes is not only fun, but also develops children's motor skills.

To keep everything safe, it's important to follow some basic precautions:

• Make sure the children know which areas are not to be touched (e.g. the pan or the stove)!
• Use child-friendly tools that do not cause injury.
• Never leave children unattended in the kitchen, especially when the stove is in use.
