Crackers was extra keen to help if it meant that he could sample any finished pancakes. "I'd love to," he answered.
Custard had overheard their conversation and came into the kitchen offering to help as well. Bubbles and Crackers were pleased to have the extra pair of paws.
They busied themselves weighing out flour and mixing it with eggs, milk and sugar and whisking it into a smooth batter.
Crackers and Custard were very disappointed when Bubbles covered the bowl and put it straight into the fridge.
"I thought we were going to make pancakes?" complained Crackers immediately.
"Actually, the batter has to rest in a cool place for a while before we can turn it into pancakes," explained Bubbles. "We won't have to wait too long. Let's go and ask the others if they would like to try some test pancakes when we've made them."
