Sweet Potato is a popular and versatile vegetable, rich in beta carotene, vitamins C and E, potassium and provide lots of dietary fibre. They’re even fat free!
You can cook Sweet Potatoes in a large variety of ways, but one of my favourite breakfast dishes is Sweet Potato Pancakes.
Ingredients
1 big sweet potato or 2 medium
2 cups self raising floue
2 eggs
1 and 1/2 cups of milk
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ cup melted butter
Method
Cut the sweet potato in half or thirds.
Cover with water and bring to the boil. Once the water is boiling, turn it down and simmer for 20 minutes.
Drain and allow to cool. Remove peel and blend to puree
In a large bowl combine flour, sweet potato puree and cinnamon. Whisk through
In another bowl combine eggs, milk, sugar and butter. Now add the contents of this bowl into the large bowl which contains the flour and sweet potato mixture. Stir through gently.
Heat your pan to medium-high.
Drop the batter in – about 1/2 cup per patty cake.
Cook until bubbles appear on the top. Flip over. Cook for another few minutes until nicely browned.
Serve with butter, yoghurt or any topping of your choice
