Today’s Recipe: Spicy Sweet Potato Pancakes

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a twist on a classic breakfast dish that will surely wake up your taste buds. These spicy sweet potato pancakes are perfect for a cozy weekend brunch or a quick weekday breakfast treat. Let’s dive into the delicious details!

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, grated (about 400g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk (240ml)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

  • grater
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • frying pan
  • spatula

To start, peel and grate the sweet potatoes into a mixing bowl. Add in the flour, baking powder, egg, milk, green onions, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, spoon the sweet potato mixture into the pan, forming small pancakes. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Once the pancakes are cooked, remove them from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the spicy sweet potato pancakes hot, with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra kick of flavor.

This unique breakfast dish weighs approximately 700g in total, making around 4 servings. Each serving is about 175g, with an estimated calorie count of 230 per portion.

Clever Tip:

For an extra crunchy texture, try adding a handful of crushed cornflakes to the sweet potato pancake batter before cooking. It adds a delightful contrast to the softness of the pancakes!

I hope you give these spicy sweet potato pancakes a try soon. They’re a fun twist on a breakfast classic, and you can always customize them with your favorite toppings. Enjoy your cooking adventure!
