Louisiana Sweet Potato Pancakes
Louisiana Sweet Potato Pancakes are a very welcome change from regular pancakes. Great with maple syrup or cranberry sauce.
Ingredients
- 3/4 pound sweet potatoes
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Place sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan of boiling water, and cook until tender but firm, about 15 minutes.
- Drain, and immediately immerse in cold water to loosen skins. Drain, remove skins, chop, and mash.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
- Mix mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, milk and butter in a separate medium bowl. Blend sweet potato mixture into the flour mixture to form a batter.
- Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter mixture onto the prepared griddle by heaping tablespoonsful, and cook until golden brown, turning once with a spatula when the surface begins to bubble.
