How to prepare wheat Flour by age

Use only in cooked foods — never offer raw batter or dough. Bake or pan-cook until fully set, then cut pancakes, muffins or fritters into finger-length strips soft enough to squash between thumb and finger.
9–12 months
Bake into soft muffins, pancakes and fritters cut into bite-sized pieces, or use to thicken homemade sauces. Always cook through.
12 months+
Plain or wholemeal flour in any home baking; wholemeal adds fibre. Still cook through — no raw dough or batter.
