It all started sooo well….
I decided it would be a good idea to make pancakes with the Boobee for Shrove Tuesday. I had an image in my mind, you know…like a gentle, calm Granny and grandson bonding…like you see in the movies – except I didn’t bank on the 2 year old having his own ideas about baking.

It started so well… βΊβ€π I collected all the equipment, and gathered up the ingredients….the 2 year old getting quite excited about the prospect of ‘pancakes’ although he had absolutely noooo idea what they are, he just loved the sound of it all. ππ
Behind the scenes his parents were snickering, their hands covering their mouths as they tried to contain their amusement…they knew what was coming. πππ
We settled down at the table and I measured out the flour, explaining what I was doing, but before I could blink my eyes…it descended very quickly into chaos, with handsful of flour on the and table flying everywhere!!! I desperately tried to keep control of the situation, to no avail.


Suddenly, and with no warning, he 8swooped in with his hand and lifted a gloop of batter and started painting the table π±π±π€£π€£π€£π€£



I was laughing so much…intially with shock and then with bemusement. It was just hilarious. The carpet will have to be washed…I eventually recovered what was left of the first batch and hurriedly decamped to the kitchen. Meanwhile the parents cleaned up the chaos and popped him in the bath – I needed a bath!! ππ
With the chaos reigned in (safely in the bath π₯΄π₯΄) I prepared a 2nd batter mix and started making the first batch of a very unique blend of pancakes…a la Boobee!! π€π€π€ They were perfect…π
Mummy had cut up some banana and strawberries, melted white chocolate and made up some sugar and cinnamon, as well as some yummy dairy free ice-cream.

He loved the pancakes and made short work of them with nutella, strawberries and bananas, and ice-cream. Of course he was quite hyper afterwards, what with all the sugar in the chocolate…good luck to the parents, I can go home π€ͺπ€ͺπ€ͺ
You just never know what you’re going to get with a 2 year-old, but I can say for sure, I haven’t laughed like that in a long time.
π π I had such a good laugh now! At least you can say he enjoyed the whole experience β€οΈ.
I feel like I should now get into the shower after reading your post …
ππππΏπΏ I know what you mean. I went home with batter and flour on my clothes!! It was so much fun…
So funny and cute, and I am glad he was there to show you how to make it.
