Cooking

23.  Melt a portion of the Butter (½ Cup or 120 g) in a frying pan

24. Scoop a batter and start cooking

25.  To make perfectly round pancakes, I like to use a metal ring

26. If you are using a metal ring, oil it first, so to make sure the batter won't stick to it

27. Once the first side is cooked, flip over
