Savoury Pancakes anyone?
My little one LOVED these, they would also be great with cream cheese or hummus etc spread over the top.
Butternut Squash and Sweetcorn Pancakes
Makes 10 mini pancakes
Ingredients
- 100g of butternut squash, cubed
- 100g of all purpose flour
- 120ml of milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup of frozen sweetcorn
- paprika
- 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, grated
- vegetable oil
Directions
Add the butternut squash to a steamer over some boiling hot water and steam until softened.
Add to a bowl and mash, set aside and allow to cool.
Add the flour and egg and whisk until you have a smooth slightly thick batter.
Stir in the cheese, sweetcorn and a sprinkling of paprika.
Grease a frying pan over a medium high heat with some vegetable oil.
Add heaped tablespoons of the mixture to make mini pancakes and cook until golden on both sides.
Can these be frozen? And reheated in a toaster perhaps?
I make a batch and freeze before cooking – in tupperware, each with one or two tbsp of the batter in. Then I cook fresh. I’d have thought they would freeze well once cooked, but would be nicer cooked after freezing.
What is the milk for please??
I love this idea, but I tweaked your recipe a little bit based on what I needed to use up. I used 1 (4 ounce) container of butternut squash baby food, 3/4 cup plus 1 Tablespoon self-rising flour, colby-jack cheese instead of Parmesan, and everything else I kept the same. The batter was a little thin, but I think that was because I used baby food, so I would definitely start with 1/4 cup of milk and add more if needed. It does not say in the recipe what to do with the milk, but I just assumed that it it went with the other wet ingredients (eggs and squash) as in most pancake recipes. I got 18 small pancakes total, and my one-year-old enjoyed them spread with cream cheese. I am going to freeze extras as I do with any leftover pancakes. Thank you for sharing!
these are delicious but I tweaked slightly. I added some spring onion and used roasted butternut squash which added a bit more flavor. My 11 month old loves them
sounds yummy, you could really mix these up with all kinds of different herbs and seasonings as little one gets older.
