Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 1/4 cups sweet potatoes - peeled cooked,mashed (yes, you can use canned)
  • 1/4 cup butter melted, and 1 additional tablespoon butter for frying
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Allow potatoes to cool to room temperature before making batter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
  • In a separate bowl, combine milk, potatoes, eggs and butter.
  • Combine the two mixtures until dry ingredients are just moistened. Allow batter to set, while you heat a griddle or skillet to medium-high heat and lightly grease with butter.
  • Drop batter by heaping tablespoons onto griddle or skillet and fry, turning once, until browned on both sides.
  • Great with maple syrup and butter. Try it with "sweetened sour cream" - mix 1/2 cup of sour cream with a tablespoon of brown sugar.
