I made Oscar Butternut Fritters with Cinnamon tonight. Very nice and great for them eating by themselves.

2 butternuts peeled, diced and cooked until soft
2 eggs
self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Mash the butternut. Beat the eggs and add to the mash. Now, I recon about 300gr of flour should be enough, but you can always add more if needed. It has to be a sloppy mixture - leaning on the stiffer side.
Add baking powder.

Heat a non-stick pan. Drizzle of olive oil and put dollops of mixture in the pan. Cook until nice and brown. Turn over and flatten with egg-lifter.

Put on a flat plate and sprinkle both side with cinnamon or cinnamon & sugar. Deeee-licious!!!

These fritters look like Scottish Pancakes/Griddlecakes.

Enjoy!

Emilia, remember when you posted a while back contemplating whether to move back to Scotland? Well I think you should definately move and now! Your meals for Oscar are fantastic!! I'm going to copy them down and try them.

Thanks!

I love giving Oscar fabby food - my other two are fussy little buggers! I didn't have the knowledge then, that I have now.... old woman that I am! Anyway - SA's have some really nice ideas with food, especially veggies.

But thanks for the kind remarks. I'm happy to work for hugs and Tunnocks Teacakes......... life couldn't be any better!!!

To all custard lovers...

When you make this custard and you find it too runny (it's more of a pouring custard) then you can thicken it by simply adding another egg yolk or two (always beaten).

Good luck.... let me know how you get on!!

[Tara & Liam]

have a go Sarah you never know until you try hun.xx start with something simple. jo's receipe is straight forward.

 

[Jo]

[Jo]

Youll have to let me know how it goes as i am not the best on writting instructions down i am better at just doing it if you get what i mean

 

[Jo]

That's a good idea! Be careful though - it's the egg white that we need to be wary of in babies - that's usually what can be the cause of an egg alergy.
I'll post a recipe for good old Meringues! They're yummy with fresh fruit and ice-cream!

Glad everyone enjoyed the custard!

[Jo]

I thought it was the yolk that could cause allergies

seems ok though and we have no history so crossed fingers

i really like all these meal ideas for Braydon but i have a question, Braydon has tea at 5 then we eat at 7 do u all like cook ur babyes then reheat for u or do u all eat togeva or just cook it for ur babies

 

[Jo]

I tend to cook most of what i have posted Just for Jack, make it in batches then freeze it.
