Ingredients
Streusel Ingredients
- 2/3 cup of brown sugar
- 2/3 cup of AP flour
- 4 TBS of butter, softened
- 1/2 TBS of cinnamon (plus a little more to taste)
Pancake Ingredients
- 1 cup of AP flour
- 2 TBS of white sugar 2 TSP of baking powder
- 1/2 TSP of salt
- 1/2 TSP of cardamom
- 1 pinch of grated nutmeg
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 TBS of butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1/4 TBS of vanilla extract
- 1/4 TBS of Triple Sec (optional, but it’s a game changer)
- 3/4 cup of roasted mashed sweet potato (roast them skin on until they're sticky sweet...it makes all the difference)
Set aside a little extra butter or nonstick spray to cook your pancakes
Instructions
Mix all of the streusel ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside
Sift together all of the dry ingredients and spices in a large bowl, and set aside
Mix together the melted butter, milk egg, vanilla and triple sec until they are blended, and stir the mixture into the dry ingredients
Fold in the roasted mashed sweet potato
I like some texture in my sweet potato pancakes, so I mash mine. You can puree yours in a food processor with a little butter if you want the texture to be a little more consistent
In a pan on medium heat, melt about 1/2 a TBS of butter, add the pancake batter, and sprinkle with about a TBS of the streusel mixture
When the pancake starts to bubble and has dry edges, flip them over and cook the other side.
Remove the pancake from the pan, and sprinkle the side without streusel with a little streusel topping while it is still hot.
Serve with warm maple syrup and a little powdered sugar.*
