Thursday: Read the Pancake Card

Oliver pins up the pancake card. "Let's read it all first," he says.

Bennie points at a step. "Can I taste the batter after I whisk it?"

Lizzy shakes her head. "What do you notice? The batter has raw egg in it."

Riley smiles. "Here is a hint," he says. "Tasting comes after the pan."
