Instructions
Prepare the Sweet Potato
If starting from scratch pierce a sweet potato with a fork and microwave for 5 to 6 minutes until completely soft. Scoop out the flesh and mash until completely smooth with no lumps. Allow to cool slightly.
Whisk Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl whisk together the mashed sweet potato, eggs, milk, and maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and uniformly orange in color with no streaks of unmixed sweet potato.
Add Dry Ingredients
Sift the flour and baking powder over the wet ingredients and fold together until just combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine. Do not overmix or the pancakes will turn out dense and rubbery.
Cook the Pancakes
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour quarter cup portions of batter and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown bubbles form on the surface before flipping.
