Sweet Potato Pancake

 

METHOD

  • Cook the sweet potatoes in the oven until cooked through. Leave to cool, halve and spoon out the filling into a sieve. Place over a bowl to let all the moisture drip out for an hour.
  • In a large bowl, mix the eggs, milk and butter and beat until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt.
  • Slowly combine the potatoes with the wet and dry ingredients to form a batter.
  • Cook the pancakes in a lightly greased, pre- heated heavy frying pan until golden brown.
  • Serve warm drizzled with nuts, syrup, berries and anything else you fancy
