INSTRUCTIONS

In a large mixing bowl combine the flours, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate smaller bowl combine the beet puree, keifer, yogurt, egg, butter and orange zest. Mix until combined and smooth. Add beet mixture to flour mixture and fold together until just combined (be careful not to over-mix or the cakes will be tough). Head a flat griddle-top large pan over medium heat. Grease with butter and drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls. Let pancakes cook for about 3 minutes before flipping. Cook until both sides are becoming golden and the center of each pancake is light and fluffy. Serve warm with fresh berries and a light drizzle of good quality maple syrup.
