Instructions
Step 1
Start by grating the cooked *beetroots* finely. Once grated, place them in a piece of *cheesecloth* or a fine sieve and **squeeze out the juice** into a bowl. This juice will give your pancakes a beautiful pink color.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the *milk* and the reserved beetroot juice. Whisk them together until well combined. Then, add the *egg*, *kefir*, *sugar*, and *salt* to the mixture and stir until everything is incorporated.
Step 3
Gradually add the *all-purpose flour* into the wet mixture. Stir rather vigorously to avoid lumps until the batter becomes **smooth and uniform**. Allow the batter to rest for about **30 minutes**; this helps improve the texture of your pancakes.
Step 4
After the batter has rested, fold in the *vegetable oil*. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and **pour in about 1/4 cup** of batter for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface, then flip to cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat the process until the batter is used up.
Step 5
Once cooked, stack the pink pancakes on a plate and top them with *arugula* and *stracciatella cheese* for a delightful presentation. Enjoy your delicious pancakes warm!

Equipment

A non-stick frying pan or griddle is key for achieving perfectly cooked pancakes without sticking. Preheat it to medium heat for optimal results.
A good whisk helps you achieve a smooth batter. If you prefer a more hands-on approach, a fork will work in a pinch.

Variations
Faq
- What can I do if my batter is too thick?
If your pancake batter feels too thick, you can add a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency. It should be pourable, but not too runny!
- Can I use raw beets instead of cooked?
Using raw beets directly will give a different texture and might make your pancakes gritty. It’s best to stick with cooked beets for this recipe.
- How can I tell when my pancakes are ready to flip?
Look for bubbles on the surface of the pancakes! When they start to form and pop, that’s usually a cue that it’s time to flip.
- What should I do if I want to make a large batch and freeze them?
Feel free to double the recipe! Cook all the pancakes, let them cool, layer them with parchment paper, and freeze them in airtight containers. Reheat them in the toaster or microwave when you're ready to enjoy!
- Can I add other flavors to my pancake batter?
Absolutely! You can mix in some vanilla extract, cinnamon, or even a dash of cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist. Experiment with flavors to find your favorite!
- What is the best way to store leftover pancakes?
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Just reheat well before serving!
