Time: 30 minutes

Serves : 4

Ingredients :
  • 2 Tbsp Unsalted butter; melted
  • ½ Cup Cooked sweet potatoes, roughly mashed
  • 1 Egg
  • ⅓ Cup Spelt flour
  • ½ tsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Baking soda
  • 2 tsp Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • ¼ Cup Coconut milk, (or more if needed)
Method :
  1. Place the mashed sweet potato in a mixing bowl, crack in the egg and mix well.
  2. Stir in the flour and add the baking powder and soda.
  3. Add 1/3 cup of coconut milk, stirring. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the melted butter. Add some more milk if you think it is required, the mixture should have the consistency of thick, lumpy sauce and be able to coat a wooden spoon.
  4. Place a non-stick or heavy iron fry pan over medium heat on top of the stove and add 1/2 teaspoon of butter.
  5. Spoon 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the skillet and cook until bubbles rise to the surface of the pancakes and break, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook another 2 minutes.
  6. Remove pancakes from the fry pan and keep warm on a covered plate in the oven.
  7. Repeat the procedure until all the pancakes are cooked.
  8. After the first batch is cooked, add as little butter as possible without allowing the pancakes to stick to the bottom of the pan.
