Description

Scouts are to decide what pancakes to make, what ingredients will then be required (quantity & considering budget), then cook them.

Resources

Part 1: Shopping
Small amount of money
Local shop open during meeting time
Bags to transport ingredients
Some smaller ingredients (raising powder for scotch pancakes) may be best to provide from home to prevent buying excessive quantities.
High-vis jacket if dark

Part 2: Cooking (taken from Pancake Making for Pancake Night)
225g self raising flour
115g castor sugar
2 eggs
milk
gas burners, heavy-bottomed frying pans
OR washed, empty small baked bean tins and tea lights

Instructions

Part 1: Shopping
1) Set a budget of £5 for example for the scouts to go shopping with (under supervision) - Receipts required
2) Scouts must agree on type of pancake (crepe/scotch) and toppings, considering cost and health.
3) Scouts walk to the local shop to get the ingredients together with supervision!

Scouts must plan the best way to transport the shopping back to the meeting place (considering chilling milk & fragile eggs not crushed) and then store the ingredients correctly before using them.

Part 2: Cooking (taken from Pancake Making for Pancake Night)

Here's the recipe that we use on Pancake Night at Scouts. If the weather is good then do this on open fires outside. We did the activity on the beach last year.
(An alternative cooking method for indoors is to heat a small baked bean tin with a tea light: http://www.instructables.com/id/Cancakes---Mini-Pancake-cooker/)

When doing this at Troop night we are looking for teamwork from start to finish. Patrols should make sure that they set up in an organised way, make sure all equipment is on their table and all the ingredients are ready.

Make sure that everyone knows what to do, and make sure that everyone gets a shot at making and eating a pancake.

Afterwards make sure that everyone takes their share of clearing up, washing up and putting things away in the store.

Here we go:
