My hobby is cooking. I like to cook all kinds of light meals, especially something sweet.

I cook when I have free time. I also love to cook with friends. When I do this with friends, it is much more interesting and fun than cooking on my own. All in all, my everyday cooking place is my home.

 For example, making your favorite pancakes is quite simple:

To make batter you will need:

- 1 glass of flour

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 2 eggs

- ½ teaspoon salt

- 2 tablespoons of sugar

- 1 glass of milk

- 1 tablespoon oil

1) Mix and stir all ingredients well in a large bowl.

2) Put the dough in a hot skillet; cook on both sides until golden brown.

3) Serve pancakes with honey or jam.

I love to cook because. Cooking is soothing. And you feel like a little creator who creates something himself.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this little story about my hobby. Sorry to take your time. Thank you for your attention!
