Savory ham & cheese petite pancakes for little hands

Pancakes are a hit among children usually. Instead of making it sweeter by adding golden syrup, why not try a savory version by adding honey shaved ham and sliced cheddar cheese? Honey shaved ham also make a better option than regular sliced ham as a thinner slice is used, making it lesser in sodium without compromising in taste as the texture of shaved ham is light and the taste of honey shaved ham with a choice meat cut is better than the regular picnic ham which is made of put anything but real meat, hence the price difference. You could also try using sliced turkey breast at the deli, whichever that works!
The brand of pancake mix used is morinaga. It uses wheat flour and produces really fluffy pancakes. The fluffiness makes it good for making this savory pancakes as the filling is hidden in the pancake itself.
Also, use a piping bag or a squeeze bottle to make it easier to create round petite bite sizes. My elder daughter loves these in her lunch box and I hope your children love it too! For my little daughter, I made them plain or you could add fresh berries and serve with applesauce.

Ingredients
150g Morinaga pancake mix
1 medium size egg
100ml full cream milk
Honey shaved ham diced
President sliced cheddar for burgers diced

First prepare pancake batter by whisking flour, milk and egg and spoon the mixture into a squeeze bottle or piping bag.
1. Heat happy call pan or non stick pan on low heat for 2 minutes.
2. Squeeze bite size round pancake batter on to pan.
3. Place ham and cheese in the middle of each pancake batter.
4. Squeeze more batter just to cover the fillings.
5. Wait till you see the batter is cool through then flip over.
6. Off the fire and let the remaining heat cook the pancake.
7. Now it's really to serve! Enjoy!

For young children, you may place sliced berries as fillings and serve with applesauce.
