¾ pound sweet potatoes
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups milk
¼ cup butter, melted

  • Use a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan to cook the pancakes. This will prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once, when the edges start to look dry and bubbles form on the surface.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fresh fruit.
