If DD2 can handle eggs 'hard baked' could she handle a pancake?

DD2 has never had eggs except in a cake. they came up as one of her allergies in a pinprick test. I am guessing the answer is no but want someone to say yes!

her reactions have been hives and worse ezcema

I'm not risking it. Am about to try experimental egg free pancakes from a recipe I found on the internet!
It has banana in it.

a bit late now - but I'd hazard a guess as well. I'm not allergic to eggs, but I have developed an intolerance to them in the last couple of years - fine in baked things like cake, but "egg" gives me the most horrible tummy cramps and bloatyness (disclaimer - I know this is not the same as an allergy - but this is relevant honest!).

Yesterday evening I had pancakes..........last night I spent on the sofa feeling very sorry for myself - I think you were probably right not to risk it.

There's a child in DS2's kindergarten who's allergic to egg unless it's combined with flour. Bizarre but maybe that's the same sort of thing as your DD? In which case pancakes would be ok...

We have the same issue with dd1. She can tolerate well baked e.g. if a cake is in the oven for say 30 minutes.

Things like lightly cooked muffins are a no go , as is quiche and omelette type stuff.

I didn't personally make pancakes but she did make some at school and she asked the teacher to do hers egg free.

I can't see how mixing the egg with flour would work tbh. Possibly in that scenario the product is then well baked so it is the baking that is the issue rather than the presence of the flour? (assuming the child isn't given raw egg and uncooked flour together?) Grin
