Method
Rinse the liver, remove the membranes and ducts, and cut into pieces.
Grate the carrot2 on a fine grater and simmer in 3 spoonfuls of water, covered, for 5 minutes until soft.
Blend the liver and onion3 into a uniform mixture. Add the egg, flour, salt and carrot2 and stir.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with half the butter. Spoon the mixture onto the sheet in small pancakes about 1 cm thick.
Bake at 180 °C for 20 minutes, turning at the 10-minute mark. They are done when there is no pink inside and the pancakes are springy.
Skillet option: use a nonstick pan with a drop of oil and cook, covered, over low heat for 5 minutes on each side without forming a crust.
Cool to lukewarm. For a small child, cut into pieces if needed.
Tips
- Why it works
- Clean the liver of membranes and ducts first, because that's where the bitterness and tough strings are, and your child will spit them out.
- Substitutions
- Swap the chicken liver for turkey liver, 60 g. Swap the wheat flour for rice or oat flour, 15 g, and the pancakes will be slightly softer.
- Common mistakes
- The pancakes turn dry and gray if you leave them in the oven longer than 20 minutes. Press with a spoon: a dry, springy middle with no pink means it's time to take them out.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in a closed container in the fridge for 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds with a drop of water under a lid. Freezes for up to 1 month, thaw in the fridge.
- Serve with
- Serve with a spoonful of sour cream or mashed potato for dinner. The pancakes are easy to eat by hand on a walk, packed in a container.
In short
- A child's portion for ages 1–3; suitable from 18 months. For younger kids, halve it and purée.
