The first pancake
Text: an original contemporary personal account-style practice extract.
I offered to make pancakes for breakfast. I mixed the flour, milk and eggs, then poured the first spoonful into the hot pan. It looked golden when I turned it, but my brother tasted it and immediately reached for the sugar. I had forgotten to add any to the mixture.
Once I had stirred in the missing ingredient, the next pancake disappeared from his plate in seconds.
Identify the ingredient the writer forgot to add to the mixture.
