I’m continuing my adventure into the land of sweet vegetable recipes. And since I still have a lot of squash puree, I will make it the focus of this recipe too.
I usually make pancakes or waffles for breakfast on the weekend. So of course I thought I would add a little to the batter. For once I find the taste of the squash more pronounced, but not unpleasant. In fact, it’s quite good! And believe me, the kids loved the pancakes, sprinkled with powdered sugar or brushed with maple syrup. An interesting recipe that is a bit out of the ordinary, it’s worth a try!
