Pancakes with Sweet Potatoes
Saturday, February 20th, 2010Well, it’s been a busy few months, involving a lot of writing at work, meaning when I have free time, I’m not too excited to use it to do more writing. I’m going to try to get back to blogging, but you probably know me well enough by now to not trust any promises! Anyway, here’s another recipe from Thanksgiving (eek!), but it’s really good any time, either with leftover sweet potatoes, as here, or with pumpkin. Sorry, no picture from this one!
I purposely made more food than I thought we needed to feed the six of us last Thanksgiving, since I enjoy the leftovers and finding ways to use them. Matt and I had a couple nights of just reheating the leftovers pretty much as they were originally served, but the real fun part is figuring out ways to make the leftovers into something new. I especially had a lot of leftover sweet potatoes, and decided to try adding them to pancakes. I adapted the buttermilk pancakes I usually make from The Joy of Cooking, adding my sweet potato casserole (which was topped with coconut and hazelnuts) and some spices. Since these are a good bit sweeter than normal pancakes, they were especially great topped with tart leftover cranberry sauce!
