pancakes for toddlers

These pancakes are not only yummy, they are popular with toddlers and they freeze well.

What more can one ask for?

INGREDIENTS

1 cup plain flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 tbsp butter (melted)

1/2 cup milk

1 egg (beaten)

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

1 1/4 cups fruit puree of your choice

METHOD

1. Sift the plain flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.  Set aside.

2. Mix the butter, milk and egg in a bowl.

3. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

4. Add the vanilla essence and fruit puree.

5. Spoon onto a hot non-stick pan that has been greased with butter/margarine.

6. Cook the pancakes at low heat on one side.

7. Flip the pancakes over to the other side and cook till the other side is done.

TIP

1. I used low fat milk because that is what I normally buy for our home.  You can substitute with full cream milk.

2. I usually make my own fruit puree (I steam a variety of fruits and blend them before freezing the puree in portions) but you can use commercially sold fruit puree that is meant for babies/toddlers.
