    I had so much fun making these! Be sure to head on over to Frontier Patriot to watch us eat and review these pink pancakes. Here is a modern translation of the original recipe, which you can always find at the end of my videos. Thank you for watching & have a great day.
    "Pink-Coloured Pancakes," 1829
    1 large beet
    4 egg yolks
    2 heaping tablespoons of flour
    1/3 cup of sugar
    1/3 cup of cream
    1 tsp nutmeg
    A dash of brandy
    1 tsp butter
    Boil your beet until it is tender (roughly 30 minutes). It is done once a fork easily goes through it. Remove from your hot water and allow to cool. Once cool to the touch rub off the skin with your fingers. Mash the beet well until smooth in a bowl. To this add your egg yolks, cream, nutmeg, flour, sugar and brandy. Mix well. Melt your butter in a skillet on medium heat. Pour in a bit of the batter, forming a round pancake. Allow it to cook for 2-4 minutes before flipping. Once firm and solid on both sides they are done. They cook quickly so be sure to check on them often.
    *Note: cup sizes in regards to cooking were not standardized in the early 1800s. Because of this when a recipe from the early 1800s calls for 1 cup of an ingredient that does not equal to a modern measuring cup's worth. In reality it would have been equal to a small drinking glass, which to them was quite literally a cup of something. The interpretation of what a cup meant varied greatly from cook to cook.

      Hi Justine
      Thank you for sharing this recipe. We love Beets going to definitely try this pink pancake recipe.
      Mom has a recipe for Beet Jelly made from the water the beets are cooked in.
      I love it on toast and goes well with pancakes.
      It's not a recipe from the 1800s, I'm thinking the late 1900s, I'm not sure, though.
      Thank you again; love watching both channels when I can.💞

      Hi, on a wee side note, the pan that is referred to as a skillet in the recipe (and likely daily parlance in the US and elsewhere) is traditionally called a girdle in Scotland and yes I do mean girdle and not griddle.

      ​@@Alison2436The smoke from the fire also infuses into the flavor, creating a profile that is richer, bolder, and more robust than either gas or electric stoves or ovens will provide. I cook over the campfire when I am camping with friends and family, and those are some of the best meals I have ever eaten, mostly due to the saturation of the wood smoke.

    I used to use the water from the beets or onion skin to colour my Easter eggs (pysanky). Also when we didnt have money for makeup or as a kid wasnt allowed to wear it, I would use beets for my cheeks and lips to add colour.

    One of the few things I liked about the utopian society of the Shakers was that they had (in my opinion) beautiful painted seed packets and sold lots of seed way back when. I assume if you google their packets you may see some of the pumpkin and other veggie designs. It was always so "Thanksgiving" like where it made you think of Pilgrims and all that way back when stuff. Anyway, was inspired to share that when Justine was carrying the pumpkin.
