my very first post, and it is, of course, a recipe & some pics: Red Pancakes Crepes
I finally broke down and got a plus account so I could use and abuse the lj scrapbook. It's good because I can upload huge pics and it resizes them for the viewers all on its own. *grin wide*
Long story short, these are crossposted all over the place, but you guys go as well:
One fine day about two weeks ago there were some beets cooking when I was home for the holidays, and as beet juice (drained from under the cooked beets) makes a great colorant for many baking and cooking recipes, I decided to try a new one:
Red Pancakes (that's Crepes fer ya yanks)
Recipe and the making-of pics in the gallery linked above.
Basically, take any crepe (or even pancake) recipe and substitute the liquid ingredient with beet (cooked, that is) juice. That's it. You'll have a blast at the natural color you get, and the beet juice can't really be tasted once done at all.
Yummy and simple, plus looks rrrrrrrrreally cool. :-D
If you make something using beet juice, take a pic or just tell me about it; I'd love to know what else tastes good when red.
