🍽 Ingredients

• 2 Eggs
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 1 cup Flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon, melted Butter

📖 Instructions

1. First, let's tackle the eggs. Grab your saucepan and fill it with enough water to comfortably submerge your eggs. Add a pinch of salt to the water; this helps prevent cracking and makes the whites firmer. Bring this salty water to a rolling boil on the stove top. Once boiling, gently lower your eggs into the water using a spoon—don't just chuck 'em in! Set a timer. For perfectly soft-boiled eggs, aim for about 6 minutes. For hard-boiled, go for around 12 minutes. If you're unsure, start checking earlier—you can always cook them for a bit longer, but you can't un-cook them! Once your timer goes off, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. This prevents that nasty greenish ring around the yolk and also makes peeling sooo much easier. Gently peel the eggs under cold running water once they're cool enough to handle.
2. Next, let's make some pancakes! In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients—flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients—milk, melted butter, and the egg (yes, use a fresh one!). Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Don't overmix; a few lumps are okay. Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You'll know they're ready when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully using your spatula. Once cooked, stack your pancakes neatly on a plate. If you mess up a pancake, hey, it's breakfast! Nobody's perfect.
3. Finally, it's time to enjoy your masterpiece! Plate your perfectly boiled eggs alongside your fluffy pancakes. Serve with your favorite toppings—butter, syrup, jam—whatever makes your heart sing. And, yes, a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar is a fantastic addition to your pancakes. Remember to start with simple ingredients, especially when you're just learning to cook. It makes a difference in how good everything tastes in the end. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!

📝 Notes

• For softer yolks, boil eggs for less time. For firmer yolks, boil for more time. Experiment to find your perfect level of doneness!
• If your pancakes are too dry, add a little more milk to the batter. If they are too wet, add a little more flour.
• Don't overmix the pancake batter; it can make your pancakes tough
