Recipes to enjoy with EleCare®

Once your child has been settled on EleCare®, your doctor or dietitian may allow certain foods to be introduced into your child’s diet. You might like to try these recipes that were developed by accredited practising dietitians. Remember, as each child’s allergies may vary, it is essential that you consult your doctor and/or dietitian as to the appropriate management of your child’s allergies and the use of these recipes.

As nutrients can be lost when heating, cooking or freezing, it is best to add EleCare® just before serving.

Method:

Mix EleCare® with water and set aside.
Pre-heat a non-stick pan over low-medium heat.
Place flours, bicarb and sugar in a bowl and mix well.
Add egg replacer, vanilla and EleCare® and mix into a smooth batter (batter will firm on standing).
Spray a little oil into the pan then use a ¼ cup measure to scoop batter into the pan and cook in batches until bubbles appear on the top - around 2 minutes - and then turn to cook the other side until golden brown.
Serve straight away, either plain or with jam or maple syrup.

Note:
If wheat is OK, omit gluten free and brown rice flours and bicarb soda and use ½ cup of regular self-raising flour and ½ cup wholemeal self-raising flour instead. These pikelets are best eaten warm as soon as they are cooked but they can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
