The recipe was simple enough: flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, and milk; what could go wrong? I gathered the dry ingredients and dumped them in the mixing bowl; flour floated in the air, sticking onmy lips and lashes. Many types of flour exist, but I chose bread flourbecause it is high in protein. Cracking the eggs was much moredifficult than I had expected.
