Ok, I’m going to stop spamming you with recipes after this! I really wanted to show you this breakfast recipe I made up today because I had a random cooked sweet potato left in the fridge.
Flesh from one roast sweet potato (small, maybe about 100-150g)
1/4 cup wholemeal flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
2 teaspoons dijon mustard (optional - leave out for sweet pancakes)
Enough milk to make pancake consistency, maybe around 1/4 cup
Whisk all ingredients except milk together. Gradually add milk until nearly smooth (mine still had some lumps from sweet potato). It should still have some texture in the mixture - like a thick cake batter.
Heat a small amount of butter in a non stick pan. Cook on one side for a few minutes before turning - these did not set and bubble like regular pancakes when ready to turn.
I served with a duck egg and dukkah made with toasted chopped nuts, sunflower seeds, cumin, coriander and turmeric.
I was happy with how these turned out. The mixture above made what I would call ‘2 large pancakes’ - one pancake was thick and fit comfortably within a side plate to give you an idea.
