Chef Maya's Kitchen
Maya is making her famous pancakes! Here's the recipe for 4 pancakes:
1 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
A recipe is like a math formula — it tells you EXACTLY how much of each ingredient to use. If you use too much or too little, the food won't turn out right!
The recipe makes 4 pancakes. But what if Maya needs more? That's where math helps!
**Think About It:** Cooking is applied math. Every chef is a mathematician!
