A pancake is a traditional English dessert made with flour, eggs, milk, butter, and salt. The recipe instructs the reader to mix the dry ingredients, then stir in the wet ingredients to make the batter. An adult then melts butter in a hot pan and pours batter into the pan to fry each pancake for a minute per side. Pancakes are typically eaten on Pancake Day in England and can be topped with items like lemon, chocolate, or nuts.
