Pink Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 and 1/4 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/4 cup beetroot puree
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, beetroot puree, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix or the pancakes will be tough.
4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray or add a small amount of butter or oil.
5. Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour the batter onto the pan to form the desired size of pancakes.
6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look dry, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Using a spatula, flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until lightly browned on both sides.
8. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more cooking spray or butter to the pan as needed.
9. Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as whipped cream, fresh fruit, or maple syrup.

The vanilla extract adds a nice flavor and the toppings options are endless. Serve them with whipped cream and fresh berries for a colorful and delicious meal.
