Ingredients
Instructions
Wake up the yeast
Pour half of the milk (about 75ml) into a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture looks slightly foamy and alive.
Mix the dough
In a larger bowl, combine the flour with the remaining milk. Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until everything comes together into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Prepare the vegetable blend
In a separate bowl, whisk together the grated vegetables, egg yolk, cornstarch, and a drizzle of cooking oil until well combined.
Shape the pancakes
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into small portions, then roll each one into a ball and flatten gently into a disk about 2 inches wide.
Cook until golden
Heat a non-stick pan over low to medium heat. Place the pancakes in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they turn a light golden brown and feel set in the center. Let cool to a safe temperature before offering to baby.
