When me and my mom make pancakes, she shows me how to break the egg and measure the amount of flour, but I still kinda forget. She giggles at my mistakes, but I always feel that I belong. It’s Saturday morning, and we start with the ingredients. Just to make sure I don’t drop them, ma gets them out of the fridge and cupboard. 2 eggs 80 ml of butter 250 ml of milk 1 spoon of baking powder Then I mix until it looks like like my sister's playdough; Pink, smooth, and molded into different shapes. Then we start baking. And guess what? The sizzling sound turns into PANCAKES. The amazing smell tells my brain, “This is gonna be delicious and yummyyyyy!” We start to eat. I taste the pancake. Ah … Paradise! Chocolate strawberries and bananas make it so delicious. And my sister likes it the same as me. My mom likes hers with coconut flakes and bananas. My dad likes it the exact same as my mom. Baking and enjoying what we create together can make bigger relationships with the people you love, in a home that feels like you belong.
