Sweet Potato Pancakes

Ingredients  

  • 1 lb sweet potatoes
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • A dash of salt
  • Couple dashes ground nutmeg
  • Couple dashes of cinnamon
  • ½ cup egg beaters or 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups fat free milk
  • 1 stick of light butter 1/4 cup

Steps 

  1. Boil sweet potatoes for about 25 minutes. While potatoes are boiling follow steps 2 and 3.
  2. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  3. Melt butter in a small sauce pan over low-medium heat.
  4. Drain potatoes, peel off skins and mash them in a bowl (using a fork does the trick).
  5. Add egg beaters, milk and butter to the mashed sweet potatoes and mix.
  6. Blend sweet potato mixture into the flour mixture to form a batter.
  7. Preheat a sprayed pan over medium-high heat (a griddle or non stick pan works). Using a ladle or other large spoon, pour batter mixture into pan to silver dollar sized pancakes. Flip the pancakes as bubbles start to form in batter. After each batch, respray pan and repeat.
