Fluffy American-style pancakes made with mashed sweet potato, warm cinnamon, and a maple syrup topping. Makes about 12 pancakes.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add the sweet potato, reduce to medium heat, and cook until very tender.
-
Step 2
Drain the sweet potato well, transfer it to a mixing bowl, and mash until smooth. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
-
Step 3
In a clean mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
-
Step 4
Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp (30 gr) of melted butter into the mashed sweet potato until evenly combined.
-
Step 5
Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and fold just until no dry flour remains.

Step 6
Heat a skillet over medium heat and brush it with the remaining 2 tsp (10 gr) melted butter as needed. Cook portions of batter until bubbles form and the undersides are golden, about 2 to 3 minutes; flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the centers reach 74°C and contain no wet batter.

Step 7
Divide the warm pancakes among plates and serve with the maple syrup.
