1 tbsp. l. Sahara

In connection with the approaching Maslenitsa, I come to you with a recipe for pancakes. But these are not simple pancakes, but multi-colored ones. I used all natural dyes, the result came out really bright! As a basis, you can take any pancake recipe you like (with milk, kefir, mineral water, etc.). I have a recipe for half and half milk and water (“we will mix the dyes with water”). The pancakes turn out to be truly unusual; you can surprise your family or guests. They are not much more difficult to prepare than regular pancakes. I really enjoyed cooking them, I admired the result for a long time, the pancakes turned out very beautiful and tasty! I will describe the results of the tasting later in the recipe.
I got 6 thin pancakes of each color, that is, 18 pancakes in total.

Preparation:

Prepare the dough.
Place eggs, sugar, salt into a container and whisk a little.

Add a small part of the milk, add flour, and mix thoroughly with a whisk until the mass becomes homogeneous. Then gradually pour in the rest of the milk, stirring. The mass at this stage is still somewhat thick.

And here are our dyes))

Cooking "green".
Remove the spinach from the branches and place in a chopper.

Add 4-5 tablespoons of water and grind very thoroughly.

Pour through gauze, squeezing well. In principle, spinach is ground quite finely, so it is not necessary to strain it, so it is optional.

Cooking "pink".
Peel half the beetroot and grate it into a puree on a fine grater (crown grater).
Pour through gauze, squeezing out the juice well. You need 50 ml of juice.
Add water to make a total of 100 ml of liquid.

Cooking "yellow".
Mix turmeric with 100 ml of water.
Here are all our dyes, 100 ml each.

Divide the dough into three parts, add colored liquid to each and mix.
If desired, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to each.
Look how beautiful it turns out!

We fry pancakes.
Heat the frying pan well, lightly grease it with vegetable oil with a brush or folded paper napkin.
Pour in a little less than half a ladle of dough and swirl the pan. Fry, flip, fry.
Here's green.

Here's the pink one.

Here comes the yellow one.

We transfer the finished pancakes to a plate, it is advisable to immediately generously grease them with butter while they are hot, and stack them in piles so that they do not cool.

Let's move on to taste.
The green ones don’t have the taste of spinach at all, they are very tasty, I even found them tastier than regular pancakes)) I ate the first pancake hot straight from the frying pan, generously greasing it with butter. It was just a song, very tasty!
Next are pink. Anticipating the main question, I’ll say right away that the pancakes do not have a beetroot taste, there is a taste of something light vegetable, but it is very delicate and does not spoil the taste of the pancake at all. By the way, I know there are pancakes that use boiled beet puree, where the taste of beets is really pronounced, but I only used juice, so the result is different.
Next are the yellow ones. The pancakes have a taste of turmeric, but it is not strong, not intrusive, but it is there. Therefore, pancakes will be simply ideal with a savory filling; the best one will be meat or mushroom filling.
To summarize, yellow ones are for unsweetened fillings, but green and pink ones can be combined with absolutely any filling, even with cream and strawberry jam. It will be very tasty! Look how beautiful it turns out, everything is natural and bright!

But I still had to work hard.

From me, thank you very much to Lena Tyufekchi for the ideas, and to Lyolik for her help in choosing the final competition name “The rooks have arrived... the pancakes have bloomed... :-)” and also thanks to everyone who supported me in this competition.

And here in Hungary it’s already real spring. And you? It’s true... and the birds were singing, and the bees were buzzing somehow, there were snowdrops in my yard, and yellow primroses in the forest. This spring inspired me to bake colorful pancakes. I made a seven-flowered flower out of them, braided others into a “check”, rolled some of the woven ones into tubes and even decorated a salad in a “basket”. However, I’m only showing a seven-flowered pancake flower and giving you all a spring (almost summer) mood.

Ingredients:

Sparkling water (mineral; 1.5 for white, yellow and pink; 1.5 for the rest) - 3 cups.
Sunflower oil - 2 tbsp. l.
Flour - 1 cup.
Egg white (for white, blue and bright green) - 1 pc.
Chicken egg (for yellow, pink and spinach) - 3 pcs.
Spinach (I have frozen puree) - 200 g
Carrots (medium or large) - 1 pc.
Turmeric - 1 tsp.
Beetroot - 1 piece
Red cabbage - 1
Food coloring - 2 pcs.
Sugar (in dough) - 1 tbsp. l.
Powdered sugar (for sprinkling) - 100 g
Confectionery sprinkles (flowers)

Making colored pancakes

I’ll tell you right away based on the test. Ingredients with egg and flour I have for seven-flowered pancake flower These are approximate because I baked a lot of pancakes for all my pancake experiments. I advise you to make your favorite dough, divide it according to the number of desired shades and then add dyes there. But I tested each color for testing, 1 pancake at a time. If that's what I need, then I'll keep baking. I had some protein left over from some dish, so I simply added about the amount of 1 egg. Well... let's spin our carousel or spinner? There were a lot of working titles, but I liked it better with rooks and blooming pancakes. And you?

Grate carrots and squeeze out juice

Prepare the dough for orange pancakes and add carrot juice. I advise you not to spare juice in the dough. When frying pancakes, it somehow diverges, or you can use carrots on the finest grater.

For blue pancakes, you can use red cabbage juice, but I have a regular blender and therefore use food coloring.

For yellow ones, it is better to take the same carrots, but the amount of juice is less. For creative greens - food coloring.

For pink ones, beets are ideal; you can put vanilla sugar in them to take away the taste of beets.

I didn’t add anything to the dough for white pancakes except protein, mineral water and flour. I always fry ordinary classic thin pancakes only on mineral water, half and half with milk (this is Hungarian). I pour the dough into the center of the heated frying pan and tilt the frying pan in a circle in my hand, the dough spreads evenly. For dark green ones I used spinach puree. In order to get such an even colored top of the pancake, I fried them only on one side, but thoroughly, over low heat and in a good pancake pan.

I was a little late for the competition with stuffed braided pancakes. I also had bright yellow ones with turmeric, but their taste was not for everyone. Here is a sample of my weaving. You can use it as a stand on a flat plate for salad, or you can roll it up into a deep salad bowl and then put the salad there.

This is the color scheme of my spring pancakes.

You yourself understand that you can diversify it as much as you want and in different shades: from pastel to creative..

You can fold the pancakes into corners, envelopes, or tubes; you can fill them with transparent or colored jelly cream and there will be a wonderful picture on the cut. I give ideas We ate green spinach pancakes with sausage, and sprinkled the rest with powdered sugar and served with jam of the appropriate color (strawberry, apricot, plum, blackberry)

This is my creative still life for the past Maslenitsa a la Pancake flower - a seven-flowered flower with a pancake yellow rose, so to speak. I admit that while I was baking these pancakes, I laughed heartily at myself and I wish you all a good mood.

And we are slowly making our way to our spring... in the photo in the bouquet there are real Hungarian snowdrops.

And here comes spring...

Everyone - a flower!

This was my first recipe for that competition: colored pancakes

Baking pancakes is a simple matter. And if you put in a little effort, you can make an incredibly beautiful dish from ordinary pancakes so that it outshines everything else on the holiday table. This is especially true during Maslenitsa. To do this, you just need to make colored pancake dough.

I offer 2 recipes for such pancakes - with regular dyes and natural ones.

Recipe for colored pancakes with milk

Scales, whisk, fine grater, cutting board, blender, fine sieve, pancake pan.

Ingredients

Instead of parsley, you can take spinach or dill. Greens must be fresh.
Instead of a special pancake frying pan, you can use a regular one with a thick bottom.

How to make colored pancakes

Add 2 eggs to a liter of milk. Add 60 g of sugar. Add some salt - you will need 10 g of salt. Whisk the milk-egg mixture.
Gradually, in portions, add 400 g of flour, continuing to beat. At the end, pour in 70 ml of sunflower oil and mix well.
Pour the dough into equal parts into 4 containers (about 400 g each).
Add a teaspoon of turmeric to one container. Mix. The result is a bright sunny yellow color.
Peel and grate beets weighing 150 g on a fine grater. Place in a second container with dough and stir. We get a chic burgundy color.
We wash 35 g of parsley, chop it, put it in a blender. Pour some pancake batter from the third container there. Mix everything into a homogeneous mass.
Pour the resulting mixture into a third container and mix. The dough turns out to be an amazing soft green color.
Cut red cabbage (200 g) into small pieces. Place the cabbage in a blender bowl, add a little dough from the last container and blend until smooth.
Add the cabbage mass to the last container and mix. The result is a delicious purple dough.
We pass all 4 types of dough separately through a fine sieve.
Let's start frying pancakes. Before the first pancake, grease the pan with sunflower oil, just a little. There is no need to do this anymore, because the dough contains oil.
First, fry the yellow pancakes. Pour some dough into the center of the pan and distribute it evenly throughout the pan using circular movements. Please keep in mind that colored pancakes should not be overly fried to prevent them from turning brown. After frying on both sides, place the pancake on a plate.
Fry all the pancakes in the same way. The worst thing to do is fry beetroot pancakes; they turn out very tender, so you need to turn them over more carefully than others.

In total you get 6 pancakes of each color. These pancakes can be served simply with sour cream, or you can wrap meat, mushrooms, cheese and garlic in them - it all depends on your imagination.

Recipe for colored whey pancakes

Cooking time: 50 minutes.
Number of servings: 20.
Kitchen appliances and supplies: scales, whisk, frying pan.

Ingredients

How to make colored pancakes

Pour a glass of whey into the container and add the egg.
Add 4 tablespoons of sugar and a teaspoon of salt. Stir with a whisk. Add 350 g of flour. Mix thoroughly until lumps disappear.
The recipe is for 1 liter of whey. We have already poured one glass into the dough. Now pour half a glass and set aside. Pour the rest of the whey into the dough in 3 additions, stirring each portion thoroughly.
Heat half a glass of whey almost to a boil. Pour a teaspoon of soda into it. The soda will be extinguished, carbon dioxide will be released, which will allow the pancakes to fall into the hole. Pour the hot whey into the dough, stirring constantly. Add 50 g of vegetable oil. Mix. Let the dough sit for 15 minutes to allow the flour to swell.
Divide the dough into several parts, add a few drops of different colors of food coloring to each of them, and put a tablespoon of cocoa powder in one part.
Before baking the first pancake, grease the frying pan with vegetable oil and heat it thoroughly.
Pour the dough into the pan, fry, turn over, fry.
You can bake striped pancakes. To do this, pour regular dough without dyes into the frying pan; after a few seconds, pour the chocolate mixture into the pancake in a thin stream in the form of a spiral or other shape.
Grease each pancake with butter and roll it into a tube. Serve with sour cream.

Cooking colorful pancakes is a pleasure. A bright mood is guaranteed for you!

After cooking you will receive 12 pcs.
Cooking time: 50 min

Ingredients

500 ml. milk
3 pcs. egg
360 gr. wheat flour
15 tbsp. vegetable oil
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp salt
1 PC. beet
1 PC. carrot
30 gr. spinach

Cooking method

Prepare foods: milk, eggs, flour, vegetable oil, salt, sugar, beets, carrots and spinach.

Peel the vegetables. Prepare juice from beets and carrots alternately (it is better to use a juicer. If you don’t have one, you can grate the vegetables and squeeze out the juice through cheesecloth). For the recipe you will need 75 ml of carrot and beet juice. Chop the spinach.

In a deep bowl, beat eggs with milk, salt and sugar without achieving foam! At this stage, you can vary the amount of sugar and salt, depending on the desired taste.

Add 320 grams of flour (the rest will be needed a little later) and beat again until smooth.

Makes 900 ml of dough. Divide this mixture into three equal parts. To prepare pink pancakes, add beet juice to the dough and stir.

The dough has become too liquid. Add 1 heaped tablespoon of flour to it and stir. It should have the consistency of condensed milk. Pour in 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil and stir again. The dough is ready.

Pour a small portion of dough into a preheated dry frying pan. Tilt the pan, spread the dough over the entire bottom and cook until golden brown over medium heat. You only need to cook the pancake on one side! In this way, prepare pancakes from the whole dough with the addition of beet juice.

Add carrot juice to the second bowl of dough and stir.

As in the first case, add 1 heaped tablespoon of flour to the dough, stir until smooth. Pour in 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil and stir again.

The batter may not seem as bright, but as it cooks, the color of the pancakes will become more saturated. In the same way, cook orange pancakes in a hot frying pan without oil, frying them on one side only.

Add chopped spinach to the third part of the dough and stir. Important: you do not need to add flour to the dough, only 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Prepare pancakes using the technology described above - in a dry frying pan, frying only on one side.

Multi-colored pancakes ready!

Happy Maslenitsa!

And Bon Appetit!

Since there will be not one recipe for pancakes, but three, with three different fillings, I will probably first describe how to make the dough for pancakes, and then we will start coloring it, and at the very end I will succinctly describe the three filling options.

How to make pancake dough

Preparing pancake batter is a simple matter. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them until foamy, not for long.
Salt and sift the flour into a bowl. Remember that flour may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so you may need to add a little at the end of cooking the batter to ensure the colored pancakes spread well in the pan.
Pour 2/3 water or milk. This pancake recipe makes 1 liter of milk or water, or half of both. If you want to make it with milk, take low-fat milk, but remember that with it the colored pancakes will be denser; it seems to me that in this version thin pancakes with water would be more appropriate. In addition, milk with vegetables is such a combination of products.
Beat the pancake batter until smooth, add soda, quenching it with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
Pour in vegetable oil. I use coconut, after melting it in the microwave for half a minute, but you can use any kind. Beat again until smooth.
We look at the dough, it should have the consistency of slightly runny sour cream. It may seem thick, but since this is only a base to which we will also add coloring ingredients, do not rush to conclusions! If the dough is too liquid, add flour a little at a time and beat. If it's thick - water.
Divide the dough into three bowls if you are preparing all three options. The basic pancake batter recipe is complete.

How to make colored pancakes

Let's get down to the coloring of the main characters! For this we will not need any purchased dyes, we will make them ourselves.
