Ingredients

  • ¾ pound sweet potatoes

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 ½ cups milk

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Directions

  1. Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add sweet potatoes and cook until tender but still a bit firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, then immediately immerse in cold water to loosen skins. Drain again; remove and discard skins.

  2. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together into a medium bowl.

  3. Chop sweet potatoes, transfer to another medium bowl, and mash. Mix in milk, melted butter, and egg. Gradually mix in flour mixture until well combined.

  4. Lightly grease a griddle and preheat over medium-high heat.

  5. Working in batches, drop heaping tablespoonfuls batter onto the hot griddle and cook until the surface begins to bubble, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown, 2 to 3 more minutes.
