Recipe for Pink Pancakes Inspired by Provencal Rosé
Lunchtime Meals · Maison Mirabeau Wines · Provencal RecipesWho doesn’t love crepes, pancakes and waffles?
The following recipe for pink pancakes is sure to bring out the little kid inside. Ok, there is a decadent element to pancakes smothered in butter and coated liberally with maple syrup. However, this recipe is much healthier with the addition of beetroot powder. These pancakes taste great with a savoury topping for lunch, or of course as a sweet finale. The preparation for the pink pancakes is quick and don’t forget that everything is nicer when you combine your session with a glass of Rosé.

Pink Pancakes Inspired by Provencal Rosé
A fun alternative to regular pancakes inspired by the rosés of Provence.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 250 g (1 cup) wheat flour
- 1 tbsp Cane Sugar
- 200 +ml (3/4 cup) milk
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2-3 tsp Beetroot Powder depends on how pink you would like to have them
Instructions
- Start by putting all the eggs in a stand mixer, stirring them at full power for at least 10 minutes until they turn into a thick foamy texture.
- While the eggs are beating, combine all the dry ingredients.
- Add the milk little by little and mix well with a whisk. If the dough is still dry, add a little bit more milk than it says in the recipe, as each type of flour is different.
- When you have a smooth texture, and the eggs are foamy, take a spoon and carefully fold in the eggs
- Once everything is well-blended (no lumps), heat up the pan to medium.
- Use a neutral plant-based oil for the first pancake to prepare the pan. Tip: it’s better not to use butter as the surface doesn’t cook evenly.
- Use 2 tablespoons of the batter per pancake, pouring it into the middle of the pan. Turn over after 1-2 minutes and cook them until ready. Note: If they are not fluffy enough, you can add more baking soda.
- Place 5 pancakes on a tower and add the toppings of your choice (see below).
Notes
Suggested toppings:
- 1 avocado
- 300g soya coconut yogurt
- 2 small fresh radishes
- Red bell pepper
- 50g pine nuts
- 50g pistachios
- 4 -5 basil leaves
