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.

"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 ..." ?
