Sweet Potato Pancakes
3/4 pound sweet potatoes
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
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, eggs, 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.
