Description

Un classique réconfortant du Sud : ce pain de maïs au babeurre est tendre, doré et plein de souvenirs d’enfance.

Ingredients

Scale

1 tasse (120 g) de semoule de maïs jaune
1 tasse (125 g) de farine tout usage
1/4 tasse (50 g) de sucre (optionnel)
1 cuillère à soupe de levure chimique
1/2 cuillère à café de bicarbonate de soude
1/2 cuillère à café de sel
1 tasse (240 ml) de babeurre
2 gros œufs
1/4 tasse (60 g) de beurre fondu (plus pour graisser le moule)
1/4 tasse (60 ml) d’huile végétale

Instructions

Préchauffer le four à 220°C. Si vous utilisez une poêle en fonte, la mettre au four pour la préchauffer.
Dans un grand bol, fouetter la semoule de maïs, la farine, le sucre, la levure, le bicarbonate et le sel.
Dans un autre bol, mélanger le babeurre, les œufs, le beurre fondu et l’huile.
Verser les ingrédients liquides dans les secs et mélanger délicatement jusqu’à ce que ce soit homogène (ne pas trop mélanger).
Sortir la poêle chaude, graisser avec du beurre, verser la pâte et cuire 20–25 minutes jusqu’à ce qu’un cure-dent en ressorte propre.
Laisser tiédir avant de découper. Servir avec du beurre, du miel ou en accompagnement d’un ragoût.

Notes

Préchauffer la poêle est essentiel pour une croûte croustillante. Adaptez la quantité de sucre selon votre goût pour une version sucrée ou salée.

Why You’ll Love This Beetroot Juice Recipe

No fancy juicer required – Just your everyday blender will do.
Naturally sweet & earthy – Beetroot’s deep, mellow flavor plays beautifully with a hint of fruit.
Bursting with nutrients – Think iron, vitamin C, antioxidants… and that gorgeous ruby-red glow!
Energizing – Perfect morning pick-me-up or mid-afternoon boost.

What Beetroot Juice Tastes Like

Beetroot juice has a rich, earthy flavor—almost like the ground after fresh rain, in the best possible way. When blended with apple, orange, or carrot, it becomes gently sweet and far more refreshing than you might expect. And oh, the color—deep crimson, like a jewel in a glass. Anything but boring!!

Health Benefits of Beetroot Juice

Supports healthy blood pressure thanks to naturally occurring nitrates.
Boosts stamina for workouts or busy days.
Detox-friendly with its liver-supporting antioxidants.
Great for skin—its vitamins help give you that natural glow.

Ingredients You’ll Need

2 medium beetroots (raw, peeled, chopped into cubes)
1 medium apple (peeled and cored, or unpeeled if organic)
1 medium carrot (peeled and chopped) – optional but adds sweetness
Juice of 1 lemon or orange (for brightness)
½–1 cup cold water (adjust for consistency)
Honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)

Tools You’ll Need

Blender (high-speed works best, but standard works too)
Sharp knife
Cutting board
Fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag (for smoother juice)
Bowl or jug for collecting juice

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions

Swap apple for pear for a softer, sweeter note.
Add ginger for a little spicy kick.
Use coconut water instead of plain water for extra electrolytes.
Mix in a few fresh mint leaves for cooling freshness.

How to Make Beetroot Juice Using a Blender

Prep your produce – Wash, peel (if needed), and chop beetroot, apple, and carrot into small chunks so your blender doesn’t struggle.
Load the blender – Add beetroot, apple, carrot, citrus juice, and half the water.
Blend until smooth – Start on low speed, then increase to high. If it’s too thick, add more water.
Strain (optional) – For a smooth juice, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag into a jug, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. If you like it pulpy, skip this step.
Taste and sweeten – Stir in honey or maple syrup if desired.
Serve immediately – Pour into a chilled glass, add ice if you like, and enjoy that glorious ruby color!

What to Serve with Beetroot Juice

Fresh green salad with avocado and lemon dressing
Wholegrain toast topped with hummus
A light omelette or scrambled eggs for a balanced breakfast

Tips for the Best Beetroot Juice

Use fresh, firm beets—older ones can taste woody.
Always add citrus to brighten flavor and slow oxidation.
If your blender isn’t powerful, grate the beetroot first for easier blending.
Keep beet stains at bay by rinsing your cutting board and blender right away.

Storage Instructions

Best enjoyed fresh—nutrients degrade quickly.
If you must store, keep in an airtight glass jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Shake before drinking as natural separation will occur.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use cooked beetroot?
Yes, but it will have a slightly sweeter, less earthy taste and a softer texture.

Do I need to peel beetroots?
If they’re organic and scrubbed well, you can keep the skin on for extra fiber. Peeling will give a milder flavor.

Can I freeze beetroot juice?
Yes, freeze in ice cube trays and thaw as needed—great for smoothies!
