Beetroot Pancakes


Happy Valentine's Day! 
Want to prepare a hearty breakfast for your love ones today ? Try this lovely pinky beetroot pancakes  :D 


They looked so thick & fluffy!

Oh my look at the fuchsia pancake batter!

To get even size pancakes, drop about 1/4 cup batter onto a lightly greased pan. Wait for the bubbles to appear on the surface and the sides started to set. Gently flip over and cook the other side briefly. Use low heat at all times to prevent over browning.*

How's the taste of this beetroot pancakes?  Either you like it or hate it ^0^ hahaha 'cos I know some of you may turn off by the muddy taste of the beets. But these pancakes tasted not too bad lah ^.^ Somehow the roasted beets tasted much sweeter compared to steam version and with raspberry jam added into the batter, it helps to reduce the muddy taste a lot!

  • 300gm beetroot
  • 120ml seedless raspberry jam
  • 250ml buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
