There is lots to learn in the weighing and measuring of ingredients. Pancakes are a good way to get children into the kitchen, as they are forgiving if the measuring gets a little over enthusiastic. Lots of different fruit or mashed vegetables can be added. If bananas are not a favourite, raspberries are a nice substitute in this recipe, very finely chopped mango or mashed sweet potato also work well.
