I made these very virtuous little pancakes for my two year old's breakfast over the weekend. Despite my wish that he be naturally moderate and abstemious, the little guy has absolutely got a major sweet tooth. I have to think creatively to give him yummy treats without poisoning him with with processed sugar, colours and additives.
Ingredients
1 cup spelt flour, sieved
1 tablespoon manuka honey
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg, whisked lightly
1/3 cup milk
Fresh ground nutmeg (just a pinch)
Sliced banana
Butter for frying
In a bowl, mix the sieved spelt flour and the baking powder until combined. Add the egg, honey and milk and whisk until combined. The honey will give it a gloopy, shiny consistency. Add more milk or flour as required until you have the consistency of a moderately thin batter.
Put a small teaspoon of butter in a pan, then take a paper towel and wipe out the excess, so only a thin film remains. Place pan over moderate flame.
Add about four slices of banana, well spaced. On top of each banana, dollop a tablespoon of the batter on top. Wait until bubbles appear and then flip. The pancakes are done when you see them "lift" a little.
Remove pancakes from the pan and repeat until all cooked. I served them with greek yoghurt.
These can be frozen.
