Top tip
How to get the perfect shape for mini pancakes?! I recommend either using a small, round metal or silicone ring to get the perfect pancake. You could also pour the batter into a ziplock bag, cut a whole in the corner, and squeeze the batter out forming a circle in the pan. Another option is using an ice cream scoop.
FAQ
Yes! Pancakes are a great option for baby led weaning once your baby is showing signs of readiness to start solids. These pancakes work well as they are sweetened naturally with banana.
