Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
Spices and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Fats and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Blend roasted sweet potato puree with dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, creating a smooth, lump-free batter with a vibrant orange hue.
- Whisk egg and melted butter into the mixture, ensuring thorough integration of wet and dry components for optimal texture.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet to medium heat (around 350°F), allowing surface to evenly warm for consistent pancake cooking.
- Gently ladle batter onto the hot skillet, forming circular shapes approximately 4 inches in diameter.
- Monitor pancake surface for emerging bubbles and slight matte appearance, indicating readiness for flipping (about 2-3 minutes).
- Carefully turn pancakes using a wide spatula, cooking opposite side until achieving a golden-brown caramelized exterior.
- Transfer finished pancakes to a warm plate, maintaining their fluffy consistency and preventing moisture loss.
- Drizzle with pure maple syrup, garnish with optional dusting of ground cinnamon, and serve immediately for maximum flavor and temperature enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting sugar levels to suit personal taste preferences or dietary needs.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond or coconut flour to maintain the pancakes’ fluffy texture.
- Enhance nutritional value by adding ground flaxseed or chia seeds to boost fiber and omega-3 content.
- Prevent sticking by ensuring the non-stick skillet is properly heated and lightly greased before pouring batter.
