Variation 1 SWEET STYLE — Stack them high ! Children (and adults) love the vibrant colour.

Double dash of Maple syrup (add to batter mix)

1/2 tsp Vanilla extract (add to batter mix)

Toppings : anything you fancy! we like yogurt/honey, crunchy granola and some warm berry compote… yummm!

TOPPINGS // ITS ALL IN THE PLATING! HAVE FUN

Whipped Greek Feta plus some extra feta for crumbling (simply blend with a pinch of salt add cream for desired consistency)

Dill

Capers

Lemon

Black pepper

Carrot Ribbons tossed in Olive oil 

Smoked salmon or poached eggs (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Whizz the beetroot with the milk in a high speed blender or 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. Pour approx 2 tbsp of the batter into little rounds on the pan. You should be able to cook 3 or 4 at a time for smaller stacking style pancakes ! Cook for 2-3 mins or until bubbles begin to appear on the surface 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.

Enjoy your yummy SWEET or SAVOURY pancakes!
