Give it all a good whisk.<\/li>\n<li>Fold in the beetroot and spice.<\/li>\n<li>Warm a frying pan over high heat. Brush on a bit of olive oil. Drop in dessert spoonfuls of the pancake batter into the centre of the pan.<\/li>\n<li>Grab a spatula. As soon as the pancake starts to bubble up in the centre, flip it over and cook for 2 minutes or so, until cooked through. Don&#8217;t be tempted to press the pancake down in the pan as it cooks as this will press out all the lovely air bubbles that make it nice and fluffy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When all your pancakes are cooked, add a dot of butter on the top of each, and then serve with a drizzle of honey and a nice cuppa.<\/p>\n<p>For more recipes from Abel &amp; Cole you can find them here:<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.abelandcole.co.uk\/recipes \">http:\/\/www.abelandcole.co.uk\/recipes\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lent is around the corner and whether you&#8217;re celebrating this Wednesday by giving up something or simply making a new goal, we all get excited for the day before: Pancake Day!
