Year 2 - African plantain (banana) pancakes

Class: Year 2 Year: 2017 - 2018

Year 2 were given the challenge to follow a recipe and work in a team to make pancakes.

They each selected one of the following roles to contribute towards making the pancakes.

• mushing the bananas

• cracking the egg

• weighing out 150g flour

• mixing the ingredients together

Before making the pancakes, year 2 discussed the importance of hygiene when preparing the ingredients. As the pancakes were cooking, the groups discussed why it was important to cut open the pancakes when they were cooking and hygienic methods which could be used to cool down the pancake before eating them.

All children tasted the African pancakes and most enjoyed them. I wonder whether they can recall the recipe to make them at home?
