  • DifficultyEasy
  • Allergen InformationContains: Egg, Dairy

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp plain buckwheat flour (verify it is 100% buckwheat)
  • 1/4 apple, washed, peeled, cored and finely grated
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp pasteurised whole cow's milk (contains milk)
  • 1 tsp unsalted butter or oil for the pan

Preparation

  1. Peel and core the apple, remove seeds and grate finely. Check that there are no hard apple chunks.

  2. Whisk buckwheat flour, egg, cow's milk and finely grated apple until combined and free from dry flour pockets.

  3. Warm a nonstick pan over low-to-medium heat, add a small amount of the unsalted butter or oil and spoon out small, thin pancakes.

  4. Cook both sides until fully set throughout, with no raw or wet egg batter in the centre. Where practical, check that egg dishes reach 71°C (160°F), especially in thicker portions.

  5. Let the pancakes cool, check that they remain soft and easy to mash rather than rubbery or crisp, then cut into developmentally appropriate graspable strips.

  6. Serve while the baby is seated upright and closely supervised.

Serving by Age

Serve moist, easy-to-grasp strips with no gummy raw middle or crisp hard edge. Buckwheat is not the same grain as wheat; use pure buckwheat flour and check the actual flour label.
