Preparation
Mix flour: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and cinnamon.
Blend beetroot: in a blender or food processor, blend together the beetroot, yogurt and egg for 1-2 minutes or until the beet is completely smooth.
Combine: pour the beet mixture into the flour and gently mix until all ingredients are just combined.
Add milk: add milk one tablespoon at a time until you have the right pancake consistency. The amount of milk you use will depend on which flour and yogurt you use.
Cook pancakes: preheat a medium skillet over medium heat, spray with cooking spray or add a knob of butter. Once hot, pour 1 tablespoon of pancake batter onto the skillet a few times, don't overcrowd the pancakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom of the pancakes are golden brown.
