Sweet Potato Pancakes

Adapted from Allrecipes


My little boy loves pancakes and I am always looking for a way to sneak some fruit or veggies into his meal.  These sweet potato pancakes are delicious and help him get in a few good vitamins!

Ingredients:

• ¾ lb sweet potatoes
• 1.5 cups all purpose flour
• 3 ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground nutmeg
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 ½ cups milk
• ¼ cup butter, melted

 Directions:

• 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, egg, milk and butter in a separate medium bowl.  Blend sweet potato mixture into the flour mixture to form a batter. 
• Preheat a lightly greased griddle over medium-high heat.  Drop batter mixture onto the prepared griddle by heaping Tablespoonfuls, and cook until golden brown, turning once with a spatula when the surface begins to bubble.
