Creating Mini Beet Pancakes is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare Beets: If you haven’t already, cook and puree the beets until smooth. You can steam, roast, or boil them until tender, then blend until creamy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, beet puree, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; a few lumps are okay.
5. Cook Pancakes: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or oil. Pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet, cooking until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
