Baking French fries is the easiest way to get perfect results every time, and it’s so simple. Simply preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

2) Pancakes
- Start by whisking together two eggs, one cup of milk, and a tablespoon of oil in a bowl. Now whisk in a cup and a half of flour, three tablespoons of sugar, two teaspoons baking powder, and one teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix the batter until there are no lumps.
- Heat up your griddle on medium-low heat or use your frying pan for frying pancakes. Pour about 1⁄4 cup of the batter onto the griddle and wait until it starts bubbling before flipping it over with a spatula. Cook for another minute before removing from the heat.
