When was it done :
It was done during our second FCE session .

What did I do well :
The poring of the mixture into the frying pan was done well .
What did I do badly /How was the product :
My pancakes were a bit too thin and when making the mixture was very diluted as there was too much milk .
  Flipping the pancakes were hard because they were too thin and the pancakes kept sticking together causing it to be under cooked .

How can I better next time :
I could learn how to perefect my flip and nit use so much milk as it was too diluted
