Wanting to make some fluffy pancakes as finger food for my 11month old DS...is it ok to use self-raising flour?

oh and if you make them in the blender you can just chuck the apple straight in without having to grate it (yes I'm that lazy ;) ). I always take the sugar out too. and yes, you can freeze them!!

I wanted to try them as a snack type food....just made a small batch of mini apple, cinnamon and raspberry ones...they don't seem too soggy or flat. The recipe was 1/2 cup self raising flour mixed with half teaspoon cinnamon (I omitted sugar from recipe), 1 beaten egg, 1/3 cup milk, 1 grated apple. I then added a few raspberries and some oats too. We'll see how they go down this afternoon! those yogurt pancakes look yum....thanks for the link!

thanks kiwis, yes that's what I was aiming for - mini fat pikelet type pancakes :) thought I'd try some grated apple and cinnamon inside. He's also very fond of raspberries at the moment so might try some with those too and banana sounds yum. I tend to make piklets too...or Annabel Karmel's yoghurt pancakes (YUM! http://www.babycentre.co.uk/toddler/nutrition/annabel-karmel/yogurt-pancakes/ ) Putting fresh fruit IN the pikelets tends to make them a bit heavy, flat and soggy. Serving the pancakes with warm mashed fruit and natural yoghurt on top is usually a big hit. :D

Mmm, does anyone have a recipe (weights/measures etc) for these? DD would love them, and i'm always keen to add new things into the rotation! Im guessing they will freeze and travel pretty well to have cold for lunch too? Something like this? http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/5757/pikelets#null <em>edited by Kelly_C on 15/04/2012</em>

hi! I even add a bit of raw oats into mine to make it more of a meal. Bake with normal flour or even whole meal flour..you can sift the flour but it's healthier than white!...and try and do the self raising flour less as it's full of bicarb of soda and raising agent...to be short...the healthy way! Enjoy the little one...they are soooo gorgeous!

yep they'll be fat style like American pancakes rather than thin like british/NZ/Australian pancakes though. I sometimes make what we call in NZ pikelets which are basically fat small pancakes. I add mashed banana and frozen blueberries to the mix.
