Pancake Recipe: Louisiana Sweet Potato Pancakes

This recipe is a flavorful Southern twist on a delicious favorite. Try adding pecans, vanilla, ginger, or cinnamon as some tasty recipe additions. The butter can also be omitted and use whole wheat flour and/ or rolled oats for some lower calorie and healthy recipe substitutions. Top with cranberry sauce or maple syrup.

Ingredients:
¾ pound sweet potatoes
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 eggs beaten
1 ½ cups of milk
¼ cup butter, melted

Directions:
1.Place sweet potatoes in a medium sauce pan 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.
2.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 flour mixture to form a batter.
3.Preheat a lightly greased griddle over medium high heat. Drop batter mixture onto the prepared griddle by heaping tablespoons full and cook until golden brown, flipping once with a spatula when the surface begins to bubble.
