Sure! Here's a simple and clear recipe for a favorite dish, written in English, that would be suitable for 4th graders. I'll choose something easy and fun to make – Pancakes.
How to Make Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of flour (125 grams)
- 1 cup of milk (250 ml)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for frying
- Optional: syrup, fruit, or chocolate for topping
Steps to Prepare Pancakes:
Mix dry ingredients: Take a big mixing bowl. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything with a spoon.
Add wet ingredients: Crack the egg into the bowl. Pour the milk into the bowl, too. Mix everything well with a whisk or fork until the batter is smooth. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more milk.
Heat the pan: Put a frying pan on the stove. Turn the heat to medium. Add a little butter or oil to the pan so the pancakes don’t stick.
Cook the pancakes: Use a ladle or spoon to pour some batter into the pan. Make a small, round pancake. Let it cook for about 2 minutes, or until you see bubbles on the surface.
Flip the pancake: Use a spatula to flip the pancake carefully. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until it’s golden brown.
Repeat: Keep making pancakes until all the batter is gone.
Serve: Put the pancakes on a plate. Add your favorite toppings, like syrup, fruit, honey, or chocolate.
Enjoy your delicious pancakes!
