Beetroot pancakes
A Ukrainian-inspired beetroot pancakes dessert featuring a vibrant purple batter made from beetroot, milk, and flour, served with berry compote and yogurt.
Steps

Blend the beetroot with the milk until smooth, then whisk in the remaining pancake ingredients to make a smooth, vibrant purple batter.
- 2
Melt butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. For each pancake, pour about 2 tablespoons of batter to form 3–4 pancakes. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until cooked through, then keep warm in a low oven.

Make a simple berry compote by simmering frozen berries with 1 tablespoon of blackcurrant jam until bubbling and syrupy (about 5–10 minutes). In a small bowl, mix the remaining jam with yogurt. Stack the pancakes with yogurt and spoon the warm berry compote over the top.
