Baking Pancakes

Today me and my mother were making pancakes filled with cottage cheese. Well, it was mostly she who did the main job - preparing the paste mix and baking. My part was putting a spoon of cottage cheese on a pancake, fold its edges in a small envelope and then roll it two times. I baked only last two pancakes myself and almost burnt my fingers, trying to flip the pancakes with my bare fingers like my mother did. I said it was insane and asked her not to do it like that anymore. I ended up using a little knife and an utensil with the flat grabbing part (I think it's called "spatula"). The pancakes turned out to be really delicious and I ate almost ten of them at a time. However, there are plenty of them left for tomorrow breakfast. Next time, I want to carry out the whole baking process myself and see if I could prepare them as tasty as now.

Baking Pancakes

Well, it was mostly sher who did the main job - preparing the paste mix and baking.

I only baked onlythe last two pancakes myself and almost burnt my fingers, trying to flip the pancakes with my bare fingers like my mother didhad done.

I ended up using a little knife and an utensil with the flat -grabbing part (I think it's called "spatula").

However, there are plenty of them left for tomorrow breakfast tomorrow.

Next time, I want to carry out the whole baking process myself and see if I could preparmake them as tasty as they are now.

I would not say that was wrong but I really think it sounded more idiomatic like this.

hi! yes, I think it would be. however, it sounds more natural to me to say "make" them instead of "prepare", but I guess it's alright.

BMaking Pancakes

Unless pancakes are made in an oven, we say "make" here, not "bake."

Today me and my mother and I were making pancakes filled with cottage cheese.

Well, it was mostly she who did the main job - preparing the paste mix and bacooking.

Again, "bake" is only for ovens.

Yes, a spatula :)

The pancakes turned out to be really delicious, and I ate almost ten of them at a time.

However, there are still plenty of them left for tomorrow's breakfast.

Or "for breakfast tomorrow."

Next time, I want to carry out the whole baking process myself and see if I couldan prepare them as tasty as nowwell as we did today.

"Can" instead of "could" because we're talking about the future.
"Tasty" doesn't work here - you need an adverb because you're comparing two verb phrases.

Is it correct to say "... if I'll be able to prepare them ..." ?
