1 1/4cupssweet potatoes - peeledcooked,mashed (yes, you can use canned)
1/4cupbuttermelted, and 1 additional tablespoon butter for frying
2large eggsbeaten
3teaspoonsbaking powder
1teaspoonsalt
1/2teaspoonground 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.
