Patriotic Crepes Recipe

Ingredients:

½ Cup Blueberries

¼ Cup Beetroot

½ Cup Milk

2 Tablespoons Canola Oil

½ Cup Sugar

2 Cups Maja Pancake & Waffle Baking Mix

1 Tablespoon White Vinegar

Liquid from 1 Can Chickpeas (to make Aquafaba or Vegan Whipped Cream)

 

Recipe:

First let’s work on the natural coloring for the crepes.

• Red: In a blender add the beets and a little milk until it is well blended. Strain the mixture and reserve. 
• Blue: Repeat the blender step with the blueberries except this time add the baking soda and milk as well. Strain the mixture and reserve.

Next, let’s work on the Vegan Whipped Cream: Open the can of chickpeas and strain out, saving all the liquid. Combine the liquid with the sugar and white vinegar in a bowl and beat until peaks form.

Time to make the crepes! To color the dough, separate the mixture equally into two bowls and add the red mixture to one and the blue mixture to another. From there, prepare the mix as indicated on the baking mix box. You will have to add additional milk and oil to make it a little more liquidy to achieve the crepe-like quality. 

In a pan, add a little oil so that the crepe mixture does not stick. Make the crepes one at a time, using about a ¼ cup of mixture. Turn the crepe when it begins to bubble. Crepes do not take long so keep an eye on them! Continue adding the oil then the mix until all the mix is used up.

Serve as desired with whipped cream and decorate with blueberries or any other patriotic topping you like!
