It's mostly a matter of following the directions step by step.
[Felix leans over the counter to peer at the cook book he'd borrowed from the library, scanning the page with the finger of his left hand. His right arm is still in a sling thanks to the expedition, which meant most of the actual work was up to Dexera.]
You have to measure out and mix all these powders. Here. [He hands Dextera a measuring cup]
[he takes the cup and reads the measurements on the side. okay, they match up with what the book says so whatever is listed here goes in the cup. ...one at a time, probably.
so he'll start measuring them out first, slowly. Dextera learned the hard way not to rush things but that doesn't mean he won't put too much in at some point.]
[He does spare Dextera a curious look, but he's more concerned with this at the moment] Well, yes, but cream is being used here as an adjective, not as a thing. Still...it would describe the texture, I suppose...[Thinking. Augh...cooking is hard]

Whoa whoa whoa...that's fine. [He stills Dextera's hand with his own]
Here...add these now. [He pushes the baking powder and baking soda closer, then hands Dexera a teaspoon instead] This is the easy part.

Why is it called 'baking soda'? [isn't that something you drink?]

instead he'll finish up with the two and hope that's enough.]

He'll pause to scan the recipe again. Eggs? Ok. Butter? Got it.

What in the name of all the saints does cream mean?

I don't know. It doesn't say in the book?

[Getting angry at the book won't help, Felix.
He starts flipping through to see if he can find out...]
What do you think it means? Maybe we can figure it through context...

It sounds like something wet. Water, milk, blood...[yes he did write that.] Maybe something like that?

Mixing things together?

[Grabs and egg and holds it out to Dextera] Here. Crack this open into this other bowl.
