Sweet Potato Pancakes

Remember our abundant crop of these?
I've found a delicious way to use them...
In Pancakes!

You will need:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 pound sweet potato, cooked, skinned & mashed ~ I weighed the mashed amount, not the raw potato
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
Stir together dry ingredients. Mix remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture into sweet potato mixture. Cook on a medium/high griddle until light brown, flip once.

NOTES: I added a few extra tablespoons milk because I thought the batter was rather thick for pancakes. When I was washing the dishes I realized I forgot to add the melted butter. Hummm maybe that was why I needed the extra milk :) So, make them with out the butter if you desire, the will turn out just fine.

The recipe makes quite a few pancakes, 15- 20 depending on the size you make them.We froze our extra and either warmed them in the microwave or used them as toaster pancakes.

These are made with white flour

The second time we made them we used whole wheat flour.
A little darker, but just as good!

So are you coming over to make breakfast for me!:) I'm definitely trying out this recipe. However, 3/4 lbs of cooked mashed sweet potatoes is how many cups. We don't have a scale. I've been meaning to get one, but.....

I would guess at about 1 1/4 cups. When we make them again I will measure.
