Whipping up some pancakes for a midweek dinner can be a great way to get a delicious meal on the table in a matter of minutes. However, if you’ve been eating pancakes for weekend breakfasts on repeat, you might be wanting to change up your traditional recipe. Check out these sweet potato pancakes, which create light and fluffy pancakes that taste amazing with sweet or savory toppings—the nutritional boost from the vegetables is a great addition, too.
Ingredients (to make 12 pancakes):
- 2 cups of plain flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups of milk
- 1 cup of peeled and cooked sweet potato
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- Oil, for frying
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
- Create a well in the center of the flour mix and crack the eggs into this. Whisk into the flour.
- Gradually add the milk to the mix, stirring as you do so.
- Next, stir in the cooked sweet potato, whisking to ensure it is well combined.
- Heat around half a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, and allow it to get hot. Pour a ladleful of the batter into the pan, cook on both sides and then remove from the pan and serve.
- Try topping these pancakes with maple and bacon syrup, grilled cheese or even sautéed vegetables.
