Ingredients
  

  • 1 beet, cooked
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 oranges, quartered

Instructions
 

  • In a blender or food processor, pulse the cooked beet, flour, milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vinegar until smooth. Pour the batter into a bowl and set aside for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the cinnamon with the sugar and mix well.
  • Heat an oiled non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in enough batter to cover half of the skillet. Tip and rotate the skillet until the batter covers the entire area.
  • Cook until the batter turns from wet to moist, and the edges begin to curl away from the sides of the skillet.
  • Turn the pancake over, and continue cooking until lightly golden on the other side. Place the pancake onto a plate, and cover with a kitchen towel to keep moist.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly oiling the skillet as needed to keep the pancakes from sticking.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the pancakes.
  • Roll up the pancakes and serve with the orange quarters.
