Step 1: Take the big bowl and pour in half of the flour, then crack two chicken eggs into the bowl. Now take the spoon and stir it for thirty seconds. You need to put a spoon of water from the cup. Keep stirring and stirring and if you need more water, keep adding spoon after spoon. If you want to know when the mixture is finished, look for bubbles; it should have some bubbles in it. 

Step 2: Go to the stove and put the fire to low heat. Now use the knife to cut a little bit of butter into the frying pan. Use the knife to stir the butter around the whole frying pan. Put the mixture in the pan and put the pan on the stove. There's another way: you can use a squeeze bottle. Just pour the mixture into the bottle and squeeze the shape you want onto the frying pan. You can use the stick to check if you are not sure if it is cooked yet. Use a spatula to flip the pancake over when one side is done. 

Step 3: Use the spatula to take the pancake out. Put it onto the plate. It is finished. 

Warnings

• You shouldn't put the fire on a very high heat, or you will burn yourself. 
• You can't leave the mixture alone, or it will burn. 
• You shouldn't just cook one side. If you eat an undercooked pancake, you may die.
• You shouldn't pour the mixture too much onto the pan, or you can't cook it.

Troubleshooting

• When the pancake is burned, you need to put it into the bin. 
• If your kitchen is on fire, take a bucket of water and pour it in the kitchen, then call the firemen.
