Sweet Potato Sourdough Pancakes

California girl marries Midwest guy…  I have previously blogged about Sweet Potato Oats Pancakes, but they were a bit too "California" to appeal to my Midwestern hubby…

Sweet Potato Sourdough Pancake with
fresh Pear Pinwheel & Sugar Free Syrup

This recipe is an attempt to move those pancakes into the Midwest… and it uses Sourdough Starter (Levian) which I keep around for making bread… I'm frequently having to find ways to cook with the excess starter (I hate throwing good foodstuffs away)…  


These come out quite moist, if you wanted you could add some All Purpose Flour to dry them out, but I like them moist & the flavor combo is delicious!


Ingredients:
  2 cups cooked & mashed Sweet Potato
  1 cup Sourdough Starter (levian)
  1 cup Egg Beaters
  1 tsp Baking Soda
  1 tsp Salt
  2 tsp Ground Cinnamon (recommend Penzeys Chinese or Vietnamese)
  1 tsp Ground Ginger
  1/2 tsp Fresh Ground Nutmeg
  1/4 tsp Ground Cloves


Directions:
  Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.  Set a griddle / skillet wiped or sprayed with oil on Medium heat, allow the griddle to warm (a drop of batter should sizzle).  When the top of the pancake is looking mostly (75%) dry carefully flip & allow to cook on second side for a minute or two.  This recipe makes 4 large (as shown above) or 8-12 smaller pancakes.  One large topped with fruit & sugar free syrup makes a filling breakfast!
