Sweet Potato Pancakes
Description
This recipe uses leftover mashed sweet potato as the base, mixed with eggs and milk to create a moist batter. Brown sugar and maple syrup add sweetness, complemented by cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking powder for lift. Flour binds the pancakes, producing a tender texture with a hint of spice.
Cooking over medium heat with butter ensures a slightly crisp exterior while maintaining a soft interior. The pancakes are cooked until bubbles form on the surface before flipping to achieve even cooking and golden color on both sides. Serving warm with additional maple syrup enhances the natural sweetness.
Using plain, unseasoned mashed sweet potatoes is recommended to control flavor. This recipe yields around eight pancakes, making it suitable for a breakfast or brunch component. Leftover sweet potatoes are creatively repurposed, reducing waste and adding nutrition.
