Delicious Ukrainian Beetroot Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup beetroot, grated
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (Can substitute with almond or oat milk)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (For cooking)
  • 1 cup sour cream (For serving)
  • 1 cup fresh herbs, chopped (Optional, for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the grated beetroot, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    Ensure the beetroot is finely grated for a smoother batter.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

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

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

    Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding batter.
  5. Cook the Pancakes

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

    Adjust the heat if pancakes are browning too quickly.
  6. Serve

    Serve warm topped with sour cream and fresh herbs, if desired.

    These pancakes are also great with maple syrup or yogurt.
