Do pancakes come under 'baked' milk/egg?

I know technically they probably don't, but they are cooked to a very high temperature, so was wondering if it was similar...?

Dd1 passed baked egg and milk challenges in the last few months, and has been ok with the cakes and breads, and yorkshire puddings.

Has anyone else tried pancakes at this stage? I'm a bit nervous to try as they haven't been cooked for very long, and are pretty high in egg and milk!

Sorry lukewarm I don't really know but my guess would be that it needs to be cooked in the oven for a suitable length of time so pancakes don't meet the criteria. Really not sure I'd want to risk it personally but some of the other MNers might know more than me.

I suspect that as long as the egg and milk is thoroughly denatured (ie heated above 70 degrees for 5 mins) that is all that is required.

Personally, I would try to make a thinish crepe rather than pancake to ensure it really is cooked properly.

That should have been 'lumpy lumpy' Smile given the standard of my pancake cooking.

My mum suggested I bought some packet crepes and tried a little bit of those (as a shop bought one should be well cooked, should also minimise variability for having them at pre-school).

Thanks bb, helpful to know your consultant didn't think it was beyond the bounds of possibilty... Dd's childminder did egg/dairy free ones last year - whilst I really appreciated the thought, they were pretty solid!

I meant we'll try the packet ones at home, and give the pre-school those to give her as an alternative, half way house kind of thing...

(it's great she can have baked things now, don't get me wrong, but boy it gets confusing!)

I'm not sure whether it would be ok, I probably wouldn't trust anyone else to do it but if doing yourself could do with a small amount of egg in first to check. You could do a couple of trial runs before pancake day as you've thought about it so early!

This should be another thread... but I am amazed to have only just discovered that pancakes made with no egg are perfectly fine (ok a little stodgier, but still fine for kids!). I previously had an egg and dairy free recipe for little american style ones (blueberry pancakes) but thought that crepes were out. But have just trialled 300g plain flour and 750ml soya milk, that's all, and came out nice and thin enough for rolling up with lemon and sugar! What a winner. Can post the blueberry recipe if anyone would like it..

Another yes please for blueberry pancake recipe..

Just trialled an egg free recipe from the latest Good Housekeeping (using pure and oatly). DD1 declared them "a little bit disgusting mummy". Sigh.
