Sweet Potato Pancakes

The Ingredients

1 sweet potato

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup 2% milk

2 eggs

1/2 stick of melted butter

1 tsp. vanilla extract (the real stuff)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

pinch of salt

(crushed walnuts)

First, bake a sweet potato in foil. Cooking time depends on how large the sweet potato is, but cooking it in foil will reduce the cooking time. Also, it helps with removing the skin so that you have a soft sweet potato to work with. 

Once the sweet potato is cooked, you can put 1/2 a stick of butter on the stove to melt. First, mix all dry ingredients separately. Then, mix wet ingredients. Little by little, add the dry ingredients to the potato mixture and use a mixer to blend thoroughly. The batter should be nice and thick. 

Cook each side for a few minutes, until intact and flip over to do the same on the other side. This recipe makes 8 sweet potato pancakes of medium size. Also, I didn't add walnuts to the batter, but I topped the pancakes off with them (and a little maple syrup). Enjoy!
