Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 small cooked whole beetroot , chopped
50ml milk
200g self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp maple syrup
½ tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
25g butter , melted plus extra for frying
200g frozen mixed berries
2 tbsp blackcurrant jam
100g Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • Put the beetroot in a jug with the milk and blend with a stick blender until smooth. Pour into a bowl with the rest of the pancake ingredients and whisk until smooth and vibrant purple.
  • Put a small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan and heat over a medium-low heat until melted and foamy. Now create 3 or 4 pancakes each made from 2 tbsp of the batter. Cook for 2-3 mins then flip over and cook for a further minute until cooked through. Repeat with any remaining batter. Heat oven to lowest setting and keep the pancakes warm in there until needed.
  • Serve with your favourite pancake toppings or make a simple compote by simmering frozen berries in with 1 tbsp blackcurrant jam until bubbling and syrupy (about 5-10 mins). In a small bowl stir together the remaining jam and the yogurt. Stack the cooked pancakes with the yogurt and pour the warm berry compote over the top.
