Delicious Beetroot Pancakes Recipe - Authentic Ukrainian Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beetroot, grated (Fresh or cooked)
  • 1 cup milk (Can use dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (For cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional for flavor)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (For serving)
  • 1 cup maple syrup (For serving)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the grated beetroot, eggs, and milk. Mix well.

    Make sure the beetroot is finely grated for a smooth batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    Sift the flour to avoid lumps.
  3. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little melted butter.

    Make sure the skillet is hot enough before pouring the batter.
  5. Cook the Pancakes

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.

    Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  6. Serve

    Serve warm with Greek yogurt and maple syrup, if desired.

    Top with fresh fruits for added flavor.
