Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until evenly combined.
Tip: Use a fine sieve to sift the dry ingredients for a smoother pancake texture.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until fully blended.
Tip: Ensure the butter is cooled to prevent cooking the egg when combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking gently to create a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
Tip: If lumps persist, let the batter rest for 5 minutes; they will dissolve naturally.
Add Sweet Potato and Bacon
Fold in 1/2 cup of mashed sweet potato and 1/4 cup of cooked crumbled bacon. Stir gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Tip: Ensure the mashed sweet potato is smooth and the bacon is well-drained to prevent greasy pancakes.
Heat the Pan
Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Let the pan heat for 1-2 minutes.
Tip: Use a small piece of bread to test the pan's temperature - it should toast evenly without burning.
Cook the Pancakes
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook the other side for 2 minutes until golden brown.
Tip: Wipe the pan lightly with a paper towel between batches to remove excess grease for consistent results.
Serve and Garnish
Serve warm with optional toppings such as maple syrup or sour cream. Add a sprinkle of bacon bits for extra flavor if desired
Tip: Keep cooked pancakes warm in an oven set to 90°C while preparing the remaining batches.
