Athenaeus mentions, in his Deipnosophistae, staititas topped with honey, sesame, and cheese. Another kind of pancake was σταιτίτης ( staititēs), from σταίτινος ( staitinos), "of flour or dough of spelt", derived from σταῖς ( stais), "flour of spelt". Tagenites were made with wheat flour, olive oil, honey, and curdled milk, and were served for breakfast.

I used three mini pancakes for each skewer and a total of nine mini pancakes for each serving, but you can adjust for your child’s appetite. To finish it off, I included a fresh strawberry as a garnish. I added peanut butter to the bottom pancake, strawberry preserves to the middle pancake and added one more pancake to the top. Placing both the peanut butter and jelly on one pancake can get messy so I opted for three total pancakes.
