1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 large egg
1 cup milk
2 tbsp cooking oil
Combine dry ingredients and create a well. Mix milk, egg, and oil in separate bowl and pour in the well. Combine all ingredients. Batter will be lumpy. Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. When top is bubbly and sides are dry, flip until brown.

Romans 3:23- For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorius standard.
When teaching my sixth grade girls Sunday School class, I almost always ask the same question after reading any scripture: "So what in the world does that mean?!" They then start to discuss with the class what they think it means. So I ask the same question about this verse....what in the world does it mean? Take a few minutes to discuss with your family what this means.
This week, while you're eating your "plain old pancakes" discuss with your family different things that might make your pancakes taste better. The beauty of regular, plain pancakes is that you can always add things to make them taste different or better. Without God in our life, we are plain old pancakes. Just as we can add to pancakes to make them better, God adds Himself to our lives to make a change and make us better.
When we are plain old pancakes, we are separated from God. God has created us and He loves us, but we can not be a part of His eternal family because we have not been changed for the better by Him.
Things to discuss and think about this week:
- What does sin look like?
- How can I make sure that God changes me for the better?
- Do I want God to change me for the better?
- If God has already changed me for the better, how can I help others to be changed?
