I don't measure anything, so it was about as easy as Kraft. The kids loved it, and still talk about it.
Their Mom and Dad are doing a remarkable job. I'm thrilled they have given me so many opportunities to be around the kids. We lived with my Dad's mother and she was a wonderful person. I think of her making pancakes for 5 kids. She came up with the idea of making platter sized pancakes so she wouldn't have to make so many. lol
