Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1½ cups whole milk
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix your dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Whisking these together ensures even distribution of the leavening agents.
- Combine milk, sweet potatoes, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla in another bowl. Beat until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! A few small lumps are good – they’ll give you fluffier pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. To test if your pan is ready, sprinkle a few drops of water on it —they should dance and sizzle.
- Pour ⅓ cup batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface (3-4 minutes). The edges should look slightly dry.
- Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Don’t press down on the pancakes with your spatula – this deflates all those lovely air bubbles!
