Prep time: about 15 minutes

Ingredients: (Makes 2 pieces for Mom!)

• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon margarine
• 2 pieces of bread
• powdered sugar
• maple/pancake syrup

Other Stuff You Need:

• medium-size bowl
• mixing spoon
• frying pan

Directions:

1. Crack the egg into a medium-size bowl and beat well. Then mix in the milk and vanilla extract.
