The Perfect Pancake

Season 1 Episode 9 | 25m 57s | CC

Sid wants to know how his Grandma always makes perfect pancakes. They’re never too squishy or burnt. At school, Sid makes an important discovery — heat changes things! This lesson reveals the secret of Grandma’s pancakes: she heats them on the stove for the perfect amount of time — not too much, and not too little.
