Ingredients

500 g butternut squash
4 tablespoons plain flour
3 eggs
5 tablespoons white sugar
1 sachet of baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 glass of milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon sticks for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Peel and chop the butternut, then boil it in water for 10–12 minutes.

Drain and blend the butternut together with the eggs and butter.

Add milk, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla, then blend again.

If the batter is too runny, add a bit more flour.

Pour a ladle of batter into a hot pan to form the pancakes.

When bubbles start to form on the surface, flip to cook the other side.

Serve and garnish with a few cinnamon sticks.
